The full race-by-race record is on the HYROX profile.

What the block covers

Eight runs. Eight stations.

A HYROX race is one kilometre of running, then a station, eight times over. Most people who come to it from the gym can do the stations and cannot do the running that sits between them. The block is built around that gap.

Compromised running

A HYROX race is eight one-kilometre runs with a strength station between each of them. The running is not the recovery — it is most of the race, and it has to be trained on legs that have just been emptied. This is the part most gym-strong athletes have never done.

The eight stations

SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmers carry, sandbag lunges, wall balls. Technique before load, in that order, because the sled is where races are lost and the wall balls are where they are survived.

Race-day pacing

Where to spend and where to hold, station by station, with a target split for each run. A pace you have rehearsed, not a number you hope for on the day.

Doubles and relay strategy

Splitting the work to your partner’s strengths rather than straight down the middle. This is where the age-category win came from, and it is coachable.

Strength underneath it

Written after a movement assessment, to do at a gym or at home. ASCA-certified, and built for a hybrid athlete rather than copied from a bodybuilding split.

Gurugram or online

Sessions in person in Gurugram, or the same programme delivered online anywhere, with every session written to a target time and load.

Pick a date

HYROX in India, and how long you have.

Dates as published by HYROX India. The block is built backwards from whichever one you enter — and if a race is closer than eight weeks, the honest answer is to aim at the one after it.

  • HYROX Gujarat 26–28 Nov 2026 Gandhinagar · Helipad Exhibition Centre 3 weeks out · too close for a full block
  • HYROX Noida 15–17 Jan 2027 Noida, Delhi NCR 10 weeks out · reachable
  • HYROX Bengaluru 19–23 May 2027 Bengaluru · BIEC 28 weeks out · reachable
What it costs

Ask the coach
8 to 12 weeks

The HYROX block is priced per athlete, because the starting point varies more than it does in road running. Message the coach and he will tell you the fee and what it covers before anything is booked. Race entry is not included — you enter with HYROX directly.

  • A plan built backwards from your race date
  • Compromised-running sessions, the part most athletes skip
  • Station technique before load
  • A strength programme written after your assessment
  • Pacing and a target split for every run
  • A free planning call before you pay anything

The details

Do I need to be strong already to do HYROX?

No. The entry divisions are designed for ordinary fit people, and the sled weights drop in the Open division. What catches most first-timers is not strength, it is running a kilometre on legs that have just pushed a sled — which is trainable, and is most of what the block does.

I lift but I do not run. Can I do this?

That is the most common starting point, and it is the coach’s own: he came to distance running through HYROX rather than the other way round. The block starts the running where you actually are. His road record is here.

How long before a race should I start?

Eight weeks is the floor for a first race and twelve is better. Under eight, the honest answer is to aim at the next race instead — which is why the race list above says which dates are reachable and which are not. The block runs 8 to 12 weeks.

Can I train for HYROX online?

Yes. Every session is written with a target time and load, and the station work is written around the equipment you actually have. In-person sessions happen in Gurugram; everything else runs the same from anywhere.

Singles, Doubles or Relay?

Doubles is the usual first race: the work splits, the stations come at you fresher, and it is more fun. The coach’s own age-group win is in Doubles, and splitting the work to a partner’s strengths rather than down the middle is part of the coaching.

What is not included?

Your race entry, which you book with HYROX directly, and gym membership. Supervised one-to-one strength sessions can be arranged in Delhi NCR on request and are charged separately. Terms are in the terms and refund policy.

Start here

Tell the coach where you are

Whether that is a first Doubles race or a sub-70 singles target. The block is built from there, and nothing is charged until you have had the planning call.
