Master the race conditions with these Bordeaux-specific preparation tactics
Hydration Protocols: Stick with consistent fluid intake—about 120–180ml every 20–30 minutes before and during race to counteract moderate indoor warmth
Layering Strategy: Warm up with layers (base + light fleece), strip it right before entering race hall to avoid overheating, re-layer post-race to prevent chills
Grip & Functional Readiness: Prioritize sled, wall balls, and grip work in training to prepare for fatigue under slightly damp or cool indoor conditions
Pacing Strategy: Use RPE-based pacing to preserve energy for late-stage stations; steady rhythm wins more than fast starts
Post-Race Recovery: Seek warmth—use wraps or indoor heated zones
HYROX Bordeaux Training Program — Cool Climate & Functional Power Focus: Weekly Structure includes 2× Indoor Pace Interval Runs (6×800m at race pace with 90s rest focusing on pace consistency inside hall-like conditions), 2× Functional Strength & Grip Sessions (Deadlifts 5×5 at ~80%, Farmer's Carry 4×40m, Wall Balls 5×20), 1× Full HYROX Simulation (4 cycles of 1km runs with sled & SkiErg indoors), 1× Endurance Conditioning (75min steady run/row with fuel testing), 1× Mobility & Recovery (30min yoga focusing on hips and thoracic spine). Climate Adaptation Focus: Practice indoor running pacing and smooth functionality without external distractions. Train functional strength circuits to mirror race-day fatigue on sled and wall ball stations. Build layering routines and warm-up efficiency for cold-to-indoor transitions.
Four-day event November 20-23 2025 - late autumn cool and crisp weather with occasional light rain affecting outdoor transitions
Hydration Protocols: Stick with consistent fluid intake—about 120–180ml every 20–30 minutes before and during race to counteract moderate indoor warmth. Layering Strategy: Warm up with layers (base + light fleece), strip it right before entering race hall to avoid overheating, re-layer post-race to prevent chills. Grip & Functional Readiness: Prioritize sled, wall balls, and grip work in training to prepare for fatigue under slightly damp or cool indoor conditions. Pacing Strategy: Use RPE-based pacing to preserve energy for late-stage stations; steady rhythm wins more than fast starts. Post-Race Recovery: Seek warmth—use wraps or indoor heated zones. Mobility for quads, calves, and shoulders help flush fatigue.
