Most HYROX athletes think they need to train harder.

But what if training too hard is the reason you’re plateauing?

In this episode, I break down one of the biggest problems in HYROX right now — athletes living in high intensity zones, skipping aerobic development, and burning out before race day.

We cover:

• Why HYROX is an endurance event (not a sprint sport)

• How building an aerobic base raises your anaerobic ceiling

• Why you can’t “drag up” aerobic fitness from high intensity training

• The Zone 2 mistakes most athletes make

• Why constantly needing a deload is a red flag

• How to distribute intensity properly across your week

• The 30% high-intensity rule

• How to use RPE to monitor your sessions

• Managing intensity in group training environments (F45, CrossFit, HYROX gyms, etc.)

If you’re feeling flat, stuck, constantly fatigued, or not improving month to month — this episode is for you.

HYROX rewards discipline and aerobic capacity — not chaos and ego.

If this helped you, subscribe and share it with someone who trains too hard.

Train smarter. Recover better. Perform longer.
