Have you ever heard of a running and strength competition called Hyrox? I have been seeing more runners who love to strength train start to use their endurance to participate in Hyrox, and similar to running a first half marathon or marathon, a lot of people are attempting to race Hyrox without preparing for the race correctly. So, in this episode Dr. Kayleigh Shondee discusses how to program a hyrox plan and pointers on how to be successful during your first hyrox race.
