Hyroc: A journey of survival for a boy robbed of his home and forced into a world full of dangers and unknowns: 1 (Sentinel Flame Book 1)

Product Information

To give some indication of automatic qualifying times, below we’ve shown what it took to automatically qualify for the 2022 HYROX World Championships if you were an athlete at the London HYROX event in April 2022.

HYROX is inspired by the seven basic movements the human body can perform: Pull, Push, Squat, Lunge, Hinge, Rotation and Gait . All 8 functional movements plus running have been carefully selected to challenge all human facets without requiring complicated technical training or skills. This is what makes HYROX as a race accessible and safe for Every Body. aim to not move your arms more often, or higher, than they need to for you to hit the target with the ball (the thinking here being that, for many people, the arms and shoulders are the weak points of the movement and likely to fail before the legs, though this will vary by athlete). One thing to remember is that you don’t need to just train for running. The 1km runs will be required after the taxing functional stations, meaning that you will be running in a compromised state. Running 1km on fresh legs, feels very different to running 1km after 100meters of walking lunges, for example. Therefore, getting comfortable with compromised running is important. As you get closer to the event in particular, some sessions which involve compromised running will likely be appropriate. HIROC's resources are excellent! Our organization is taking managing risk exposure seriously. We’re so proud to do so!”

It’s not just aerobic endurance though that plays a part in HYROX, but also muscular endurance. For example, you need muscular endurance to be able perform 100 meters of sandbag lunges, once you are already well into the event. And then you need to be able to run another 1km after, followed by 75/100 wall balls! Bearing this in mind, some of your gym work should be at higher rep ranges than your pure strength work (more on that below). At the end of each season, HYROX hold their own World Championships. This sees the best of the best, from each division, in each city, go up against each other.

The TPE process uses the electrical field in our patented plasma torches to split apart hydrocarbons NOT heat as in pyrolysisWhether this is your first HYROX or you are returning to beat your time or try your hand in another division, sign up today to make sure you don't miss out. Hyroc is different than the boys his age. This has earned him a place as an outcast and has even made people fear him. And nothing he does seems to make a difference. Still, he has been able to live a relatively normal life. But an accident shatters all this. Hunted by an enemy that will only stop with his death, he is forced to leave behind everything he has ever known. Alone and with no one to turn to for help, every day is a challenge to survive. Through his struggle he finds his way to a place where not everything he has been taught to believe is true. Inexplicable events surround him here and his past begins to be revealed. It’s what he always wanted, but as the answers unfold, it seems more is going on than he realized and one danger may have blinded him to another.

when catching the ball, try to have already just started the squat movement downward. This is much more efficient than catching the ball with straight legs, and then beginning your squat. Do you know about HIROC’s value add? Our educational events and world-class resources include everything you need to start talking about risk. Even though HYROX is, broadly speaking, an endurance event, and even though much of that endurance requirement comes from the running, it’s worth remembering that this doesn’t mean all your endurance work needs to be running work. As already mentioned, an excessive amount of running can lead to injuries – especially if you aren’t used to it – so training for endurance with other, lower impact, modalities can be sensible. My personal preferences for this are work on the Ski Erg and Row Machine (especially as both of these are low impact, and both also feature in a HYROX event), as well as work on the stationary bike or air bike.Much of your strength training, for maximum effectiveness, would normally be done away from your endurance sessions (though as you approach closer to a HYROX race, you may look to combine the two so as to get used to the strength work in a more aerobically compromised state).
