How to Track Your Hyrox Results: Race-Over-Race Improvement Guide
How to track Hyrox results across multiple races to see real improvement. Splits, station times, pacing patterns, and what to actually compare.
How to Track Your Hyrox Results
Hyrox is the most measurable fitness sport on earth. Same format every event, every continent. That means you can compare your Chicago time to your Berlin time directly. But most athletes leave this performance data on the table - they remember the total time and forget the splits. This guide is how to actually track results to see what’s improving.
What to track
For every Hyrox race you finish, log:
Total time (the headline)
The number everyone remembers. Useful but only the top of the funnel.
Per-station times (the gold)
Hyrox publishes station times for every athlete via the chip-timing system. This is your real data. Each station tells you which is your strength and which is your weakness - independent of overall fitness.
Per-run splits (the missing piece)
Most athletes don’t realize: each 1km run is timed separately. Your Run #1 vs Run #8 split tells you exactly how much you faded.
Total transition time
The seconds spent between station-end and run-start (and vice versa). Adds up to 30-90 seconds across a race.
Felt effort by station (subjective)
“How hard did this feel?” 1-10 scale. Subjective but useful - sometimes a station feels harder than the time suggests, which signals technique or fatigue issue.
Where to find your race data
After every Hyrox event:
- Hyrox Athlete App - official app shows your time, splits, station times
- Email from Hyrox - sent within 24-48 hours of race finish
- Hyrox.com results portal - searchable by name + event
- Your watch data - Garmin / Apple Watch will have HR + GPS data
Cross-reference all four. Sometimes the official splits have errors; your watch confirms.
What to compare race-over-race
The point isn’t just to see total time drop. It’s to see where the improvement came from.
Compare these specifically
| Metric | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Total time | Bottom-line fitness arc |
| 1km run splits average | Aerobic fitness |
| 1km run #1 vs #8 split | Pacing + endurance |
| SkiErg time | Upper-body cardio |
| Sled push time | Power + sled-specific strength |
| Burpee broad jump time | Cardio + plyometric durability |
| Sandbag lunge time | Lunge-specific strength + grip |
| Wall ball time | Shoulder endurance + late-race pacing |
| Total transition time | Mental focus + venue-specific layout knowledge |
| Race-day weight | Hydration + body comp consistency |
Compare these less
| Metric | Why less important |
|---|---|
| Position in field | Different events have different fields; not comparable |
| Age-group ranking | Useful but secondary to your own time |
| Other athletes’ times | Their training isn’t yours; ignore comparisons |
Per-station improvement targets
Realistic improvement per station between race #1 and race #2 (8-12 weeks apart):
| Station | Realistic improvement |
|---|---|
| 1km run avg | 5-15 seconds faster |
| SkiErg | 20-40 seconds faster |
| Sled push | 10-20 seconds faster |
| Burpee broad jumps | 30-60 seconds faster (biggest improvement station for most) |
| Row | 10-20 seconds faster |
| Farmer’s carry | 5-15 seconds faster |
| Sandbag lunges | 30-60 seconds faster |
| Wall balls | 20-40 seconds faster |
Total realistic improvement: 2-5 minutes between race #1 and race #2 for athletes who train consistently.
Building a multi-race comparison
Maintain a simple race log. Suggested format:
Race 1 - Chicago - June 2026
Total: 95:12
Run avg: 5:42
SkiErg: 4:35
Sled push: 2:15
Sled pull: 2:20
Burpees: 5:45
Row: 4:10
Carry: 2:05
Lunges: 4:30
Wall balls: 5:35
Felt-hardest station: Burpees
Felt-easiest: Sled push
Race 2 - Atlanta - September 2026
Total: 89:42 (-5:30)
Run avg: 5:30 (-12s)
SkiErg: 4:22 (-13s)
Sled push: 2:00 (-15s)
Sled pull: 2:10 (-10s)
Burpees: 5:00 (-45s) ← biggest gain
Row: 3:55 (-15s)
Carry: 1:50 (-15s)
Lunges: 3:50 (-40s) ← second biggest
Wall balls: 5:10 (-25s)
Felt-hardest station: Burpees (still)
Felt-easiest: Sled pull (improved)Three races of this data and patterns emerge:
- Stations that improve most → keep doing what’s working
- Stations that don’t improve → diagnose; refactor training emphasis
- Felt-effort patterns → mental dimension
Common tracking mistakes
| Mistake | Cost |
|---|---|
| Only tracking total time | Miss where the gains/losses are |
| Comparing first race to fastest race | Demoralizing; not actionable |
| Comparing to elites | Ditto |
| Relying on memory | ”I think I was around 90 minutes” - useless |
| Not noting weather + venue + travel | Hot Tampa is not cool Boston; context matters |
| Tracking only on race day | Training data also tells you trajectory |
Track training data, not just race data
Race-day data is the headline. Training data is what creates the headline.
For every training session, log:
- Date + time + duration
- What you actually did (not what was planned)
- RPE (1-10 felt effort)
- Sleep quality previous night (1-5)
- Energy at session start (1-5)
- Anything notable (form breakdown, environment, mood)
Three months of this and you can see exactly which sessions correlate with later PRs and which don’t.
Tools for tracking
Physical logbook (Kitaborn)
The Hyrox Training Logbook is structured for exactly this - daily session pages, station PR pages, weekly review prompts, race-day pages. The logbook works because writing forces specificity that apps blur.
Spreadsheet
Google Sheets or Excel works. Three tabs: training log, race log, station PR log.
Training app (Strava, Garmin, etc.)
Useful for HR + GPS data on runs. Less useful for station-by-station tracking. Best as a supplement to a structured log.
Hyrox Athlete app
Tracks your race history automatically. Great for race data; doesn’t replace training log.
The right setup: physical logbook OR spreadsheet for training, Hyrox app for race history. Don’t try to track everything in one place.
The Kitaborn Hyrox Training Logbook has dedicated pages for each station’s PR history (10 attempts each), weekly review prompts, and race-day debrief pages. Three races of data → patterns emerge that no single race shows.
What to do this week
- Pull your last race’s data from the Hyrox Athlete app - log it
- Identify your weakest station - that’s the focus of the next training block
- Identify your strongest station - that’s the foundation to keep
- Plan race #2 based on the weakness identified
- Set up your tracking system - logbook, spreadsheet, or both
