The stations cost you the run.
Every station raises heart rate and empties the legs, and the run that follows is where the time goes. Holding pace late depends on carbohydrate still being available and fluid balance not having slipped.
The plan: carbs you can drink without upsetting your stomach and an electrolyte dose matched to 60–90 minutes of hard sweat. Creatine for the stations, protein for your training.
The race stack.
Hydration and carbs are race-day items. Creatine and protein are the training block behind the result.
The science of the race.
Three limits show up on the floor: fuel, fluid and the ability to repeat efforts under fatigue.
The race day.
A plan that survives a 7am start and a warm arena.
Doses on the label, nothing hidden.

HYROX supplements and race fuelling
HYROX is eight runs and eight stations in 60–90 minutes, which makes fuel and fluid central to the result. This stack covers drinkable carbohydrate, a five-salt electrolyte profile at 400mg of sodium a serving and the creatine and protein behind the training block.
Every active ingredient is on the label with its dose, and everything is made in the UK in an ISO 22000 certified facility.
Questions, answered.
Around 500ml an hour with a full electrolyte serving is a sensible plan for most arenas, adjusted for heat and how salty your kit ends up.
In the first fifteen minutes. Waiting until you feel empty puts you an hour behind, which is exactly when the compromised running starts to bite.
The extra kilo or two is water inside the muscle. For a race with sleds, burpees and wall balls, the station output is worth more than the weight.
Raise carbs and salt across the three days before, keep sessions short and sharp and do not try any product for the first time on race day.
