What is a good HYROX time?
In the Open category, most men finish in about 1 hour 20 to 1 hour 35 minutes, and most women in about 1 hour 30 to 1 hour 45. Here is how that breaks down.
| Level | Open men | Open women |
|---|---|---|
| Typical | 1:20 to 1:35 | 1:30 to 1:45 |
| Strong | 1:10 to 1:15 | 1:18 to 1:25 |
| Very competitive | 1:00 to 1:10 | 1:07 to 1:18 |
| Top 1% | about 0:55 to 1:00 | about 1:00 to 1:07 |
The ranges come from finishing times across HYROX races worldwide. Pro times are slower for the same fitness because the weights are heavier.
Where the time goes
- The running is about half of it. Eight 1 km runs, usually a bit slower than your normal 1 km pace because of the work in between.
- The sleds and the wall balls cost the most. They are where most people slow down or stop for a rest.
- The Roxzone adds up. Getting between the track and each station takes time on every lap.
Your first race
Most first-timers do Open or Doubles. Aim to keep running between every station, and do not go out too fast on the first kilometre. The format and the weights are on what is HYROX and HYROX weights, and this season's UK races are on HYROX UK races.
