What if your CrossFit engine isn’t built for the HYROX grind?
In this episode, Ben and Jackson break down why training like a CrossFitter won’t make you race-ready for HYROX - and what you actually need to perform, not just survive.
From pacing and aerobic capacity to movement efficiency and muscular endurance, this one’s a reality check for every hybrid athlete out there.
We cover:
🏋️ What carries over from CrossFit to HYROX
❌ Why max strength doesn’t matter - endurance does
⚡ Energy system differences (aerobic vs. anaerobic)
🧠 The pacing problem that ruins most races
🎯 Why specificity beats randomness every time
Whether you’re a HYROX competitor, hybrid athlete, or CrossFitter making the switch, this episode will challenge how you train, race, and recover.
