In this episode, Damian breaks down one of the biggest problems he sees when coaching athletes preparing for HYROX: people doing a lot of work, but not always the right work. From random high-intensity workouts to neglecting aerobic development, many athletes fall into common traps that lead to burnout, stalled progress, or disappointing race results. The reality is that HYROX isn’t just about pushing harder — it’s about training smarter and building a system that supports repeatable performance. Damian dives into several key mistakes he regularly sees in the HYROX space, including: Why doing random workouts every week can limit your progress The importance of building a strong aerobic base for race day How a lack of pacing strategy causes athletes to blow up mid-race Why strength balance and structural preparation matter more than people realise The dangers of trying to copy elite athletes without understanding the principles behind their training This episode is a practical and honest look at what effective HYROX preparation actually looks like, and how athletes can shift their approach to train in a way that builds confidence, consistency, and long-term progress. If you're currently preparing for a HYROX race — or thinking about entering your first one — this conversation will help you step back, reassess your training, and focus on the elements that truly move the needle. Whether you're aiming to finish your first event or push toward a new personal best, understanding these principles could make all the difference.

Training Too Hard Is Killing Your HYROX Performance (Here’s What To Do Instead)

But what if training too hard is the reason you’re plateauing? In this episode, I break down one of the biggest problems in HYROX right now — athletes living in high intensity zones, skipping aerobic development, and burning out before race day. We cover: • Why HYROX is an endurance event (not a sprint sport) • How building an aerobic base raises your anaerobic ceiling • Why you can’t “drag up” aerobic fitness from high intensity training • The Zone 2 mistakes most athletes make • Why constantly needing a deload is a red flag • How to distribute intensity properly across your week • The 30% high-intensity rule • How to use RPE to monitor your sessions • Managing intensity in group training environments (F45, CrossFit, HYROX gyms, etc.) If you’re feeling flat, stuck, constantly fatigued, or not improving month to month — this episode is for you. HYROX rewards discipline and aerobic capacity — not chaos and ego. If this helped you, subscribe and share it with someone who trains too hard. Train smarter. Recover better. Perform longer.
