Building Your Best HYROX – Week 2: Power + Strength: The Engine That Carries You

In this episode, James, Lauren, and Carlos break down the power behind performance — how building functional strength transforms your HYROX race from survival to domination. 

Learn how to develop the kind of strength that lasts — through sled pushes, farmer carries, wall balls, and walking lunges — while still maintaining your running performance. We’ll dive into how to blend heavy lifts with endurance sessions, train under fatigue, and avoid the overtraining trap that derails so many athletes.

Backed by sports science (Rønnestad & Mujika, Sports Medicine, 2014), this episode unpacks how the right kind of strength training improves running economy, endurance, and total race efficiency.

In this episode:

• The key lifts every HYROX athlete needs
• How to balance power and endurance without burnout
• Why strength is the ultimate endurance multiplier
• How to structure your hybrid training week

Whether you’re racing HYROX Dallas or just want to perform better in every event, this episode will help you build the engine that carries you to the finish line.

🎧 Listen. Learn. Lift. Run stronger than ever.
