HYROX Race Fuelling Guide FAQ
HYROX is a gruelling event. While a smart diet in the build-up to event day is crucial, so is preparing in the hour before showtime. Our THE Pre-Workout Gel is a convenient and easily digestible solution for fast-acting nutrients without weighing you down.
With eight stations and lot of running in-between, it’s no wonder HYROX depletes your body's energy stores and electrolytes. To maintain peak performance, supplements like THE Energy Gel and THE Electro Gel supply your muscles with vital electrolytes that you lose through sweat.
Proper recovery is essential to help your muscles repair and replenish energy stores. You can kickstart this process by consuming high-quality protein and carbohydrates immediately after the race.
