Recommended station splits for Sub-60
These are the per-station target times you need to average to hit 1:00:00. Slow on one? Make it up on running or another station. Faster on one? Bank time for fatigue later.

Hold 4:10/km for each of the 8 × 1 km runs (4.19 min per run on average) and budget ~5:00 cumulative for the 16 transitions.
Roxzone budget
~5:00 across 16 transitions
▾
Allow approximately 5:00 cumulative across the 16 transitions (run-to-station and station-to-run). This is one of the biggest hidden time costs in a Hyrox — practising clean, efficient transitions in training is worth 30–60 seconds on race day.
Running splits
4:10/km per km, 8 × 1 km runs
▾
Hold 4:10/km for each of the 8 × 1 km runs. That's 4.19 minutes per run on average. Don't surge in run 1 — bank patience instead. The runs after the sled push and burpee broad jumps will feel the hardest; trust the pace and let your legs come back over the next 200–300 m.
