HYROX Phoenix Major - Review Show
2026/02/05

We cover off all the action and provide our thoughts on some of the standup moments from the four Elite Races.
We also consider some of the changes since the last Major such as identifying the qualified athletes and the limited edition Centr Kit. We also consider the impact of using the modified regular HYROX course as opposed to using the grid format.

2026/02/04
This week we are joined by Coach Chris Bayens to consider training structure in HYROX. Chris has coached both top and regular athletes to reach their goals.
