HYROX Anaheim, CA 2026 · December 3–December 6, 2026
Training plan for HYROX Anaheim, CA 2026
You have 17 weeks. The plan compresses the early base phases and keeps the race-specific build, peak, and taper fully intact.
HyroxRx aligns the 18-week flagship program to Anaheim, CA’s race date. The taper always lands on race week; if you have fewer than 18 weeks, low-priority base weeks compress first and the race-specific phases never do.
The five phases
| Phase | Weeks | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation & Baseline | 4 | Establish frequency, tissue tolerance, station standards, sustainable paces |
| Aerobic Build + Strength Maintenance | 4 | Running durability, threshold development, race loads technically comfortable |
| HYROX-Specific Build | 5 | Hold pace after stations, refine station allocation, practice communication |
| Race-Specific Peak | 3 | Rehearse race rhythm, finalize splits, build confidence without fatigue |
| Taper & Race | 2 | Reduce volume 30–60%, keep some intensity, arrive fresh |
Every week, whatever the phase
- 3 runs: easy + strides, a quality session, and a long run
- 2 strength sessions (squat/bench and hinge/upper + durability)
- 1 compromised session — running on pre-fatigued legs, the HYROX skill
- 1 full rest day, always
Singles and Doubles get different Saturday sessions and station strategy; Open and Pro loads are shown inline. Already doing group classes? The plan tells you which sessions an F45/BFT-style class can replace.
