In this weeks video I attempt a Hyrox Physical Fitness Test (PFT) Is it worth doing one ? PFT Hyrox Webpage here: hyroxuk.com/ph... #hyrox #hyroxpft #hyroxtraining Instagram @mastering_fitness
With FOMO from Hyrox in Birmingham this weekend I decided to have a crack at the Hyrox PFT instead. Watch me do the test and hear my thoughts on whether its worth doing or not
@2:35min as a runner I could rather easy make the pro category because only the wall ball is a really challenging exercise for an "weak" endurance based athlete (e.g. the heavy sled push/pull would be almost impossible) therefore imho the Hyrox FTP does not make much sense prediction wise. still I fun thing to do and nice video.
Yep Hyrox suits a runner who is strong as the sled is heavy to push especially so in Pro Category. I am going to see how I do at London next month before deciding whether to try Pro next ;)
I think the PFT should be used to decide if you will do a single or doubles Hyrox. If you have trouble in the PFT, do a double. Hyrox is difficult because of the compromised endurance work. It is not enough to just be a fast runner. In general fast endurance athletes do well on hyrox. But the pro weights will mess up the "weak" endurance athlete. You will probably go anaerobic into the hyrox being comprimised. So i would advise first doing the open hyrox before going for pro. Also the event usually is harder than the test runs people do at the gym.

What's a decent 1km run time for a 45 year old under fatigue??
