Frequently asked questions — Hyrox Doubles Oslo
How does Hyrox Doubles work?
In Hyrox Doubles, you and your partner complete the race together. FORMAT: Both run 1 km to the first station. At the station, you alternate — one works while the other rests, until the full station requirement is met. Example: Wall Balls is 100 reps total — one does 50, swaps, the other does 50. Then both run 1 km to the next station. WEIGHTS: Lighter than Solo. Sled Push weight is lower in Doubles than in Solo Open. TIMES: Doubles finish times are typically 10–20 min faster than Solo due to swapping and shared station work. CATEGORIES: Mixed Doubles (male+female) and Doubles (same gender).
Is Hyrox Doubles easier than Solo?
Yes, in most respects. In Doubles you share the station requirements (50/50 or however you choose), while you both run all 1 km legs. That means: Half the station reps per person. Lighter sled weights. The ability to recover while your partner works. BUT: You run just as much (8 km total per person). Hyrox Doubles is ideal for your first Hyrox, for friends who want to train and compete together, and for Mixed Doubles (couples, friends of different genders).

How do we train best as a Doubles team?
Hyrox Doubles training plan: INDIVIDUAL PHASE (week 1–6): Train stations separately. Both must be able to run 8 km. Focus on hardest stations: burpee broad jumps, sandbag lunges, wall balls. PARTNER SESSIONS (week 7–12): Combine 1 km run + station alternating. Practise the swaps — seamless swapping saves time. Find optimal split per station (50/50 isn't always best — the stronger person can take more on e.g. wall balls). SIMULATION (week 13–16): Full Hyrox format. Important to run 1 km for BOTH athletes between each station (no shortcuts). TIP: Agree in advance who starts on each station. Swap timing is key for final time.
