Summary
Most HYROX athletes think they need more conditioning. They’re wrong. In this episode, we break down why strength might be the biggest limiter in your performance. From sled strategy to wall ball fatigue to running economy, we unpack exactly why you should be getting stronger. We sit down with Head of HYROX Programming, Karan Sanjeev, to break down: - The strength continuum explained for HYROX - Why absolute strength matters more than you think - The movements with the biggest carryover to race day - How to periodize your year (so you stop racing tired) - Why sled performance isn’t just about strength — it’s about bodyweight This is the blueprint we use inside Coastal Fitness… now shared publicly.
