Bracken Returning To Hyrox Training
- Bracken describes his current focus: training exclusively for Hyrox after racing intermittently.
- He aims to break 60 minutes and uses this block to assess readiness for pro-level racing.
Compromised Running Trumps Clean Speed
- Hyrox success depends less on raw running fitness and more on running under extreme duress.
- You must pair clean running ability with the percent you can access when compromised.
Limit Compromised Runs To One Weekly
- Do one serious compromised run per week and keep other quality runs clean.
- Increase to two compromised sessions only in the final 3–6 week sharpen phase if needed.
