Part 2: The Case for HYROX Coaching - For Endurance Coaches
Episode 69
Thursday, 19 February, 2026

HYROX is quickly becoming the “second sport” for runners and triathletes — and if you coach endurance athletes in 2026, you need an answer when athletes ask about it.In this episode, I share a practical debrief after racing HYROX Auckland: what surprised me, what the event demands, and why HYROX is a genuine opportunity for endurance coaches (not just a trend).Because here’s the coach reality: if your athletes want to do HYROX, they’ll get coached somewhere — either by you, or by a gym/HYROX coach. That’s not just a training block… it’s a relationship risk.In this episode:What HYROX really is: running compromised, over and overThe biggest performance levers: pacing, station economy, and transitionsWhat the stations do to your running (and why that matters for programming)The common mistake endurance athletes make: trying to “add HYROX” on top of normal trainingThe key training priorities for endurance athletes prepping HYROX: - repeatable running (not peak running) - leg strength endurance (knee-dominant durability) - grip + trunk resilience - station skill and standardsHow to add HYROX to your offer without blowing up your business: - add-on blocks - year-round hybrid memberships - HYROX on-ramps that convert into endurance coachingWhy athletes like HYROX:Simple, standardized format (easy to benchmark)Endurance-friendly: paced, repeatable, rewards gritClear goal + high event energy + strong communityStrength component without needing advanced lifting skillsWhy it’s good for your coaching business:Retention + LTV: keeps athletes engaged and paying year-roundContinuity: you control the return-to-endurance transitionDifferentiation: “endurance-first hybrid coaching” stands outNew revenue streams: add-ons, seasonal packages, hybrid membershipsLead gen pipeline: HYROX athletes often graduate to running/triathlon goals📸 More from HYROX Auckland (photos)🎥 Watch the video👁️‍🗨️ Read the blog version of this episodeTraining Tilt is an all in one coaching and e-commerce platform that helps coaches get better results for the clients and their businesses.
