HYROX Doubles
Two athletes, one race plan.

Doubles is the best way into HYROX and one of the most fun ways to race it. You both run the full 8 km, but you split the work on the stations. The teams that do well are not always the fittest. They are the ones with a plan.

4 partner workouts

  1. Race-pace run together: 4 × 1 km at your shared race pace, 90 s rest. The slower partner sets the pace.
  2. You go, I go: 10 rounds of 15 wall balls each, one works while the other rests.
  3. Mini simulation: 4 × (1 km run + one station, split), practising your hand-overs.
  4. Sled relay: 8 × 12.5 m push and pull, switching every length.

Our 8-Week HYROX Doubles program gives both partners a full plan with running, strength and partner sessions.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do both partners run the full distance in HYROX Doubles?

Yes. Both partners run all 8 × 1 km together. Only the station work is split.

How should we split the stations in HYROX Doubles?

There is no 50/50 rule. Use short pieces on SkiErg and row, switch every length on the sleds and do wall balls in sets of 10–15.
