Back to EpisodesSo You Want to Try Competitive Fitness: CrossFit & HYROX
Description
Preparing for your first CrossFit competition or HYROX race looks a lot like normal training, just with clearer priorities.
Amanda, Brooke, and Morgan break down what shifts when you move from working out to training for an event. They talk through how CrossFit and HYROX overlap, where they differ, and why most first-time competitors train too hard, too often, without a clear strategy.
They also cover the nutrition side of competition prep for both sports: eating enough to support volume, fueling longer efforts, carb avoidance, and why body composition goals often conflict with performance.
This one's for anyone considering their first CrossFit or HYROX competition and wanting a realistic picture of training demands, recovery, and what matters most when you decide to sign up.
