Preparing for HYROX is a little like prepping for an exam—except the test is 8 workout stations and a whole lot of heart rate. Training gets you to the start line, but fueling is what gets you across it. And to make things easier, our founder, resident nutrition expert and budding HYROX athlete Jeri Chua has distilled years of real-world experience into a free, downloadable HYROX Fuelling Cheat Sheet.
It’s simple, practical, and built for athletes racing in Singapore’s heat and humidity. Whether you’re chasing a PB, stepping up from Doubles to Singles, or surviving your first wall-ball showdown, this guide has you covered.
Why HYROX Fuelling Matters More Than You Think
HYROX is an aerobic-anaerobic roller coaster. Under-fuel and you’ll fade on the lunges. Over-fuel and you’ll curse your breakfast during sled push hell. Jeri’s cheat sheet cuts the noise and tells you exactly what matters: hydration, sodium, smart carbs, and timing.
The full guide includes:
-
1–2 days before: hydration, sodium, fibre strategy
-
Race morning: how to eat without feeling heavy
-
Just before you start: gels, chews, and CurraNZ timing
-
During your race: what Singles and Doubles athletes should do differently
-
Recovery: what to take immediately vs. 1–2 hours later
It’s the kind of clarity athletes crave.
