Your 14-week plan
42 km
peak running week. Advanced plan, sub-75, 4 days a week: 416 km of running in total, 5 simulation weeks and a one-week taper before race day.
Run km are estimates read from the session text (about 1.3 times the hard sessions, to cover easy mileage). Next: set your weekly volumes in the weekly training planner, or practise race day with the simulation workout generator.

Run km and key session by week

Trains 5+ hours a week and is chasing a time under 75 minutes. Because 14 weeks is longer than the plan this one is built from, 2 weeks repeat an earlier session with a small progression.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 14 weeks enough to train for Hyrox as an advanced athlete?

Yes, if your base is already in place. This plan peaks at 42 km a week, uses pace targets for a sub-75 finish and has 5 simulation weeks, so it assumes you recover from hard sessions quickly.

How much running is in the 14-week advanced plan?

Week 1 has about 28 km, the peak week about 42 km, and the whole plan about 416 km at 4 days a week. These are estimates read from the session text, with a lower-volume deload week in the final week of about 10 km.

When is the full simulation in a 14-week plan?

The full simulation lands in week 9, 5 weeks before race day. A half simulation comes first, in week 6. Do it at a controlled effort of about 85%, then use the remaining weeks to sharpen rather than test yourself again.

What if I have more or fewer than 14 weeks?

Change the weeks in the generator above, from 4 to 20, and the plan re-shapes its phases. Fewer weeks shorten the base phase first. The race-specific phase and the taper keep their size, because those weeks matter most for race day.

How do I change the number of training days?

Use the days a week field. Four days is the core plan. Three days drops the long run and about a quarter of the weekly km, and five days adds one easy aerobic session you can run, row or cycle. Keep your hard sessions on non-consecutive days.
