Training for HYROX with asthma might sound impossible, but it can absolutely be done with the right strategy, pacing, and mindset.

In this episode, I break down my full HYROX training plan after completing my first HYROX simulation. I share what surprised me most, which stations crushed me, and how I’m structuring my weekly workouts to improve endurance, strength, conditioning, and lung capacity without burning out.

We cover:

  • What HYROX actually is and how the race works
  • The hardest HYROX stations and how to train for them
  • How asthma changes pacing, recovery, and conditioning
  • My weekly running mileage and HIIT routine
  • Why rowing is one of the most underrated HYROX tools
  • How I use progressive overload to build stronger lungs
  • Why HYROX can be a powerful challenge for athletes with asthma
  • Whether you’re new to HYROX, training for your first race, or trying to improve your fitness while managing asthma, this episode will help you build a smarter foundation.

    If you’ve ever been told your asthma limits what’s possible, I hope this episode shows you otherwise.
