HYROX Periodization
How do you periodize HYROX training?
HYROX periodization typically includes three phases: base (volume and aerobic), build (intensity and threshold), and peak (race simulations and taper). HyroxPlanning automates this process based on your race date.
In depth
Each phase lasts 3 to 6 weeks depending on total plan length. HyroxPlanning sets the phase boundaries and adapts the weekly load curve.
Key components
-
Base
Volume + aerobic capacity.
-
Build
Threshold + race-pace work.
-
Peak
Simulations + taper.
Frequently asked questions
Why periodize?
To peak on race day and avoid overtraining.
Can I skip the base phase?
Not recommended; it underpins every later phase.
