How to pace HYROX Gent.
Don't open too fast
At HYROX Gent, the fastest kilometre does not matter – a running pace you can pick up again after every station does. Overcook the first runs and the stations make you pay for it.
Even work at the stations
At the stations, short hard sets with long pauses cost more time than a steady rhythm. Split distances and reps so you keep moving without stopping.
Calm transitions
The changes between run and station – the Roxzone at HYROX – count toward your finish time. Take them briskly but calmly: settle, approach the station, start clean.
