Repeated hard efforts up an incline with an easy jog or walk back down, building leg power and running strength that carries over to sled work.

Hill repeats are hard uphill running efforts with recovery jogs, building the running-specific leg strength and VO2max HYROX athletes need.

Definition and limits

Hill repeats are repeated uphill running efforts separated by easier movement or rest. Gradient, duration, speed, surface and recovery determine the demand. Uphill pace is not directly comparable with flat pace, and intensity should be judged with context such as effort, breathing, heart rate or power rather than one universal pace or zone.
