Highway to HYROX Episode 2: How to Fuel for Hyrox- Training, Race Day, And Recovery

So it really isn't going to be a whole lot different than any other discussion I've ever had about nutrition.

It's not like, oh, this race is somehow completely unique to the fueling aspect of things.

I mean, it's still a race.

It's still a lot of running.

I think the differences are going to be the strength piece of Of this, because this race is really tailored more to those like hybrid type athletes who are also focusing a lot on strength training.

And so it is almost like a mashing of fueling for endurance and fueling for strength.

So kind of taking components of each and putting it together.

together to make a nutrition plan for High Rock specifically.

But it's nothing like totally like different than anything I've ever really discussed before.

It's just maybe things to think about for protein and carbohydrate and fat may be a little bit different depending on your goals.

And so I think the way I'll structure this is talking more about the fueling around day to day fueling of like fueling workouts and fueling the day to day training and then kind of going into how I will or how I would think about approaching the actual race itself.

So the day to day training, again, won't be completely different.

The race itself.

not crazy different, but because of the way the race is, it's different than a 10K.

And it's not maybe similar to a half marathon.

Depends on how long you're gonna take to do it.

And it depends probably a lot on if you're going to do it with a partner, with two people versus one, because there's more rest.

So the workload may be different and the time you take may be different or shorter for that situation.

So probably will depend a little bit on how the race is being executed and the time it's going to take.

But I'll talk a little bit about that separately sort of at the end.

So really for the day-to-day nutrition program, It isn't going to be that much different, like I said.

I think the biggest thing, though, it depends on kind of your goals or where you're at and what your strengths are and what you're trying to work on.

So for somebody that is... more strength-based and they're trying to be leaning out a little bit to be better at running or maybe they're sort of working on getting rid of some of that excess body fat or trying to become a little bit lighter, leaner for running.

They might have a different goal than somebody like myself who's basically trying to maintain my running while gaining some strength.

But not gaining a lot of weight, just kind of gaining more strength and supporting the growth of muscle tissue and strength.
