VO2 Max Intervals for HYROX: What They Are, How to Use Them & When to Avoid Them

VO2 max intervals are flashy, hard, and wildly misunderstood. In this solo episode, I break down how to actually use VO2 max work to boost your HYROX performance without burning yourself into the ground.


You’ll learn:

  • What VO2 max training actually is (and what it's not)

  • Why your heart rate data might be lying to you

  • How to structure intervals that build speed, power, and tolerance

  • When VO2 work makes you stronger… and when it’s just junk volume

  • And how to use it wisely inside group fitness or CrossFit-style programming
