Who is this relevant for?

This guide is intended for anyone training for HYROX or regularly doing functional workouts.

Whether you’re preparing for your first HYROX or aiming for a personal record, hydration is an important part of your preparation.

Why are people searching for this?

A HYROX race often lasts longer than a traditional strength-training session and combines endurance exertion with explosive exercises. As a result, many participants lose fluids through sweating.

Many athletes pay close attention to training and nutrition but forget that a good hydration strategy is also part of thorough preparation.

What do you need to know?

  • Start your training session or competition well hydrated.
  • Drink regularly throughout the day.
  • Pay extra attention in hot conditions.
  • Take fluid loss through sweating into account.
  • Make hydration part of your regular routine.

Consistency is more important than drinking a large amount all at once just before the start.
