The First HYROX Playbook: A Practical Guide to Running, Training, and Recovering Well

Your first HYROX doesn’t have to feel chaotic.

It needs to be executed.

The First HYROX Playbook is a practical, calm, and realistic guide for first‑time HYROX athletes who want to train with clarity, race with composure, and finish their first event confident—not overwhelmed.

This book is not about going harder.

It’s about making better decisions when effort stacks, fatigue rises, and pressure shows up.

Inside, you’ll learn how to understand the HYROX format, pace the running intelligently, approach each station with control, and manage race‑day nerves so your fitness actually shows up when it matters.

Whether you’re coming from running, CrossFit, the gym, or general fitness, this playbook helps you avoid the most common first‑timer mistakes and turn your first HYROX into a strong foundation for future races.

Inside This Book, You’ll Learn:

- What HYROX actually tests—and what it doesn’t

- What effective HYROX training really looks like

- How to pace the running so it doesn’t derail your race

- How to approach each station without blowing up
