HYROX HEROES the PODCAST

Taper week is one of the most critical yet emotionally challenging phases of preparing for a HYROX event. In this episode, we dive deep into the common feelings of restlessness, sadness, and anxiety many athletes experience as they reduce training volume and prepare for race day. We explore the science behind these emotions, including how tapering affects neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, and why this period can feel like such a rollercoaster. We also provide practical strategies to help you navigate taper week effectively, from maintaining a modified routine to practicing mindfulness and visualization techniques. This episode includes insights from key research: Dr. Daniela J. Alghamdi et al., The Psychology of Athletic Tapering (Sports Medicine, 2022) University of South Wales, How Regular Physical Activity Enhances Brain Function and Mood (Neuroscience News, 2023) Dr. Attila Szabo, Exercise Addiction and Mood Dysregulation (Journal of Behavioral Addictions, 2021) Dr. Karen Howells, Psychological Preparation for Tapering and Competition (Psychology of Sport and Exercise, 2020) Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned HYROX competitor, this episode is packed with actionable tips to help you thrive during taper week and arrive on race day feeling confident and prepared.
