071: Why CrossFit Won’t Make You HYROX Ready (And What Will)
Description
What if your CrossFit engine isn’t built for the HYROX grind?
In this episode, Ben and Jackson break down why training like a CrossFitter won’t make you race-ready for HYROX - and what you actually need to perform, not just survive.
From pacing and aerobic capacity to movement efficiency and muscular endurance, this one’s a reality check for every hybrid athlete out there.
We cover:
🏋️ What carries over from CrossFit to HYROX

🎯 Why specificity beats randomness every time
