How do you split stations in Hyrox doubles?

Both partners run every run together; the eight stations are shared and you can swap as often as you like. The fastest plan gives each partner a bigger share of the stations they are relatively better at, not all of them, so neither partner is wrecked for the next run.

Who should take which station in a Hyrox relay?

Four athletes each take two stations and the runs before them. Give each station to the athlete whose time on it is fastest relative to the others, then check the total — the planner tries every combination and picks the quickest.

Where do I get station times if I have not raced singles?

Use a sim day or a timed training test of the full station at race weight. Be honest — a sandbagged time only hurts your own team.

Hyrox Doubles & Relay Station Planner: who should take which station? (strategi doubles HYROX)

Step 01

Your team

Doubles: you both run every run together and share the eight stations. Relay: four of you, each takes two stations outright.

Step 02

Station times

Each athlete's time for a full station on their own, as m:ss — from a singles race result, a sim day, or an honest training test. Doubles: leave a station blank if an athlete has never done it; we'll assume the other partner takes it. Relay: blank means they don't do that station.

Step 03

Your station plan

The surprises

How to race it

Station times are a yardstick. On the day, the partner who is fresher after the run takes the first reps, and nobody argues at station six.

Step 04

How it works

Doubles. For each station we compare your two solo times. The faster athlete takes the bigger share, in proportion to how much faster they are — so if you're 20% quicker on the sled you take about 60% of the metres, not all of them. Doing every rep of your best station wrecks your next run, and both of you run every run. We also compare the plan with a straight 50/50 split and with "strongest takes it all" to show the time saved.

Relay. Every possible way of giving eight stations to four athletes, two each, is checked (there are 2,520) and the fastest total wins. Then we show you what happens if everyone simply picks their favourite — usually slower, usually by minutes.
