What HYROX racing actually looks like, from one athlete's data.

Race reports and analysis built from heart rate, calorie burn, cadence, and recovery data captured during real HYROX races. Every chart cites its source. Every conclusion shows its data.

Featured race report

What heart rate looks like during a HYROX race — Bengaluru 2026

1,157 heart rate samples from a 2:01:06 finish, broken down by all 16 segments. 92% of the race spent at threshold or above. Five charts covering zone distribution, per-segment effort, drift, and post-station recovery — built from one athlete’s Apple Watch hardware and the official HYROX timing system.

Key takeaways

01 — What this is A single-athlete HYROX research archive. One person’s body, one race so far, eleven charts. Built from primary data, not aggregated content.
02 — What the data says HYROX is functionally a 2-hour threshold race. 92% of a 2:01:06 finish was spent at threshold or above — not an interval workout with rest breaks.
03 — Methodology Every number is traceable. Sources, sampling rates, accuracy caveats, and the full data pipeline are documented at /method/.
04 — Cadence New analysis weekly. Five more pieces in production from the same race data: cadence, recovery curves, pacing, time allocation, and timing accuracy.

Analysis from this race

How many calories does HYROX burn?

1,441 kcal across the race, broken down station by station. Wall Balls and Sled Pull tied as the costliest segments.
