The podium is not your pacing plan.

Salt Lake City’s Women’s Pro podium all finished under 59 minutes on September 18. Fourth was 1:03:30. Tenth was 1:08:10.

Same event. Same division. A much more useful picture than the winning time alone.

Those are reference points, not universal race targets. Your plan needs your own evidence:

• Running pace you can repeat after stations.
• Station sets you can sustain at race load.
• Transitions you have actually measured.

Build a target range, test the full block, and revise it for the event. Course layout and field strength affect comparisons.

Save this before setting your next race goal.

Test. Analyze. Train. Retest.

SUNDAY, IT’S STEPHEN’S TURN! 💙🔥 BECOMES PART OF HYROX HISTORY! 💛

One day after his dad, Oscar, races HYROX Men’s Open Solo, Stephen steps onto his own start line at HYROX Salt Lake City Youngstars.

Same family. Different start lines. One unforgettable HYROX weekend.

Stephen, trust yourself, stay steady, and take it one station at a time. Race with courage, enjoy the experience, and be proud of every step.

You belong on that start line.

Let’s go, Stephen 🔥 You’ve got this! 💙

TOMORROW, OSCAR TAKES ON HYROX SALT LAKE CITY! 🔥

Men’s Open Solo. Eight runs. Eight stations. One clear mission: trust the work.

Oscar, the training is done. Start controlled, stay composed when it gets uncomfortable, and keep making the next strong decision.

You do not need a perfect race 💪 You need to race your race.

And this weekend is even more special: athlete on Saturday, proud HYROX dad on Sunday. 💙

All heart. All the way. You’ve got this, Oscar! 👊

TOMORROW, LOGAN BECOMES PART OF HYROX HISTORY! 💛🔥

Logan will step onto the start line at HYROX Salt Lake City for the first HYROX Youngstars competition in the USA!
This is bigger than a finish time. It is having the courage to prepare, show up, and discover what you can do.

Logan, trust your training, take it one run and one station at a time and most importantly, enjoy every moment. You have already given us so much to be proud of.

Small athlete. Big heart. Let’s go, Logan ♥️

🔥 FIRST HYROX PRO—COMPLETED! 🔥

Katie, you did it.
Moving from Open to Pro is a completely new challenge. The heavier standards demand more strength, greater energy management, and the courage to keep working when the race gets uncomfortable.
And you completed every meter.
Every station.
Every rep.

That is something no one can take away from you.

As your coach, I’m proud of the result—but I’m even prouder of the courage it took to step up and do something you had never done before.

Now we recover, analyze, and build from real race-day evidence.

Huge Congratulations, Katie! ♥️You are officially a HYROX Pro finisher. 💪🔥

HYROX Beijing 2026 -Top two Women Pro finishers!
Let's give these athletes' performances a closer look. 👊

Joanna Wietrzyk and Alyssa McElheny finished just 45 seconds apart in Beijing Women's Pro: 1:01:23 and 1:02:08.

Joanna recorded the faster displayed time at all eight stations. Alyssa's results page shows the first-ranked running total, second-ranked sled pull and third-ranked SkiErg and wall balls.

One of the most interesting parts of the race happened late: the gap was 1:41 after the farmers carry, then only 12 seconds at lunge entry. Joanna extended it again through the closing section to finish 45 seconds ahead.

As a coach, I want to know what happened inside those numbers. BOXROX reports two extra laps for Joanna and one for Alyssa, so we cannot treat their run totals as a straight speed comparison.

That gives every athlete a useful reminder: know your lap count, rehearse your route and review each station with the run that follows. A long split starts a question; it does not automatically identify your training limiter.

Save it for your next race review.

HYROX Beijing Results 🔥 Your finish time tells you the result. The breakdown helps you ask better coaching questions. 👊

HECK VS GREER
HYROX Beijing gave us a useful example:
Heck: 55:56
Greer: 56:51

85 seconds faster on the runs. 55 seconds behind at the finish. 👀

At HYROX Beijing, Luke Greer completed the running segments in 25:34. Gabriel Heck took 26:59.
But Heck finished first: 55:56 versus 56:51.

The difference? Heck spent 2:30 less time at the stations. That outweighed Greer's 1:25 running advantage and 10-second Roxzone advantage.

This is why I want athletes to look at the whole race before deciding what to train next.
Running matters. So do station ex*****on, transitions and how you hold your performance together under fatigue.
These numbers tell us where time differed. They cannot tell us whether Greer overpaced, or which training change either athlete needs.

For YOUR next race review, start here:
• Running: Where did your pace change after stations?
• Stations: Where did breaks or ex*****on cost time?
• Roxzone: Where did hesitation or navigation add time?

Then combine the splits with your effort, video and training history.

Save this carousel for your next race review. Where is your biggest opportunity: running, stations or transitions? 👊

HYROX’S NEXT CHAPTER 👊

The founders are taking back majority control.

Christian Toetzke and Moritz Fürste have reinvested in HYROX as Infront sells its majority stake. L Catterton and WndrCo are joining as investment partners, with the founders continuing to shape the sport’s direction. Confirmed in the September 8 announcements from (https://www.infront.sport/news/participations-sports/consortium-led-by-l-catterton-in-partnership-with-hyrox-founders-acquires-infronts-majority-stake-in-hyrox-clone) and (Kirkland & Ellis)(https://www.kirkland.com/news/press-release/2026/09/kirkland-advises-hyrox-founders-on-partnership-with-l-catterton-led-consortium).

As a coach and athlete, I’m excited about what this could make possible.

More opportunities to race. Stronger support for athletes. A sport that keeps welcoming people to their first starting line while giving experienced competitors room to progress.

Those are the things I want to see as HYROX grows.

And the preparation matters at every level.

Understanding your running pace.
Building strength you can use at the stations.
Practising transitions and movement skills.
Fuelling your training and recovery.
Learning from your results and adjusting your plan.

At Warrior Performance Lab, that is where my focus stays: connecting testing, training, nutrition and feedback so you understand what you’re working on and why.

Whether your goal is finishing your first race or improving your Pro performance, you deserve preparation that fits you.

New Partnership Announcement - AMAZON × HYROX is Official!!! And this is much bigger than another logo appearing on race day.
The global partnership brings dedicated HYROX storefronts, training and race-day equipment, sports nutrition, wearables, recovery tools, Amazon Music playlists and on-site athlete experiences into one growing ecosystem.
Why does this matter?
Because it is another clear signal that HYROX is no longer a niche fitness event. It is becoming a global sport and an enormous year-round training, performance and lifestyle market.

But here is the Warrior Performance Lab perspective:
Having easier access to equipment is useful. Knowing what your body actually needs is more valuable.

The right shoes cannot correct the wrong pacing strategy.
A supplement cannot replace inadequate fueling.
A wearable cannot identify your limiter unless you understand the data.
And more equipment cannot replace individualized training.
Gear supports performance. Strategy creates it.

What would you want from an official HYROX storefront; fueling, race kit, wearables, recovery tools or coach-approved essentials?

The Half Marathon World Record 🔥 56:5. For 21.1 kilometres.

Yomif Kejelcha averaged:
⚡ 2:41.7/km
⚡ 4:20.2/mile
⚡ 22.27 km/h
⚡ 64.7 seconds per 400m

But the average pace may not be the most remarkable part of this performance.
His 5K segments:
0–5K: 13:45
5–10K: 13:34
10–15K: 13:22
15–20K: 13:23
Final kilometre: 2:32

At 10K, Kejelcha was still 19 seconds behind Jacob Kiplimo’s Lisbon world-record split.

Only five kilometers later, he was 11 seconds ahead
That is a 30-second reversal between 10K and 15K—followed by a 26:45 split from 10K to 20K.
This was not simply an athlete holding on at an extraordinary speed. It was an athlete gaining access to more speed as fatigue accumulated.
That requires an exceptional combination of running economy, aerobic power, threshold durability and neuromuscular control.
And Kejelcha’s performance range is equally astonishing:

3:47.01 mile — former indoor world record
12:38.95 for 5000m
26:31 road 10K world record
56:51 half-marathon world record
1:59:41 — fastest marathon debut ever

What shocks you more—the 2:41.7/km average or the 2:32 final kilometer?
