In this RMR Training Podcast Q&A episode, Rich Ryan answers listener questions on some of the biggest HYROX training and racing decisions athletes face. He breaks down when to push through a hard workout versus when to pull the plug, how to taper before a major race, what heat training actually does for endurance performance, and how to know if running more is the answer for HYROX doubles.
Rich also shares predictions for the Elite 15 World Championship races, gives thoughts on nasal strips, explains where plyometrics fit into training, and reminds every HYROX competitor that if you are showing up and racing, you are an athlete.
Whether you are building your HYROX base, preparing for race day, or trying to make smarter training decisions, this episode gives practical insight into performance, recovery, pacing, and long-term development.
