In this episode, I break down my first HYROX simulation from start to finish, including the workouts that shocked me, the stations that crushed my quads, and how my endurance training carried over into hybrid fitness racing. If you’re an athlete with asthma, a runner curious about HYROX, or someone looking to build stronger lungs and better conditioning, this episode will give you a real look at what HYROX feels like physically and mentally. I cover: What HYROX actually is and why it’s exploding in popularity The difference between solo, partner, and relay divisions My easiest and hardest HYROX stations as an ultra runner How asthma impacted pacing, heart rate, and recovery Why running is a massive advantage in HYROX The stations I’m focusing on most in training My finishing time and goal for my first solo race One of the biggest lessons from this experience was realizing that endurance still matters, even in a one-hour race. The mental calmness that comes from ultra running completely changed how I approached HYROX, especially during the hardest moments. Whether you’re training for your first HYROX race, trying to improve your conditioning, or learning how to perform better as an athlete with asthma, this episode will help you train smarter and think differently about endurance.
