SkiErg
Efficient hip drive and rhythm. The first 250m set the heart rate for the whole race, so we train you to start controlled.
- Drive from hips, not arms
- Damper 6-7
- Sub-maximal first 500m
An individual programme that starts with a thorough test in week 1. Whether you come from a running background, general fitness, or CrossFit, you get a different balance of strength, technique, and conditioning, not the same template as everyone else.
The programme runs 8-12 weeks, depending on your baseline and goal after the test week. Every phase has its own purpose, and no two programmes look the same.
5 benchmarks
A 5K running test, strength 1RM (squat, deadlift, bench press), a 3-minute sled push test, Karen (150 wall balls), and Open 12.1 (burpees). This determines whether your programme weighs running, strength, or station technique heaviest.
Strength & aerobic capacity
Gradual increase in strength and aerobic capacity, built around benchmarks like Mikko's Triangle and EMOM ramp tests.
Recovery, not progress
A week where the goal is recovery, not progress. No pressure, no rushing, no suffering.
Retest & race pace
Race-specific benchmarks are retested (Baseline, Bradley, Jerry), race-pace running and HYROX intervals are introduced.
Individual race-day plan
Reduced volume, maintained intensity. You get your personal race-day plan: warm-up, pacing, fuelling.
Official weights & distances
A full, official HYROX benchmark with real weights and distances. Success is consistent execution, not chaos.
Every station has its own technique, its own pacing and its own mental beat. We train them isolated, combined with running, and under race fatigue.
Efficient hip drive and rhythm. The first 250m set the heart rate for the whole race, so we train you to start controlled.
The station that drains legs the most. Body position and step frequency decide whether you can run after.
Grip and posterior chain. We train the pull pattern so you don't waste watts on poor technique.
Compromised running before and after. We train the rhythm: drop, up, forward, with no pauses in the transition.
1000m at controlled race pace. Too many burn out here, so we set your splits and teach you to hold them.
Grip under fatigue. We train it with planned hand switches so you don't drop the weight instead of losing time to re-grip.
The most technical station. We train sandbag position and knee-down height so you keep pace without no-reps.
The station that ends the race. We train unbroken sets under fatigue with specific breathing patterns.
What I get asked most often before a race block.
Spots in the Race Prep block are limited so I can deliver real 1:1 sparring. Say the word if you want yours.
