A common way to structure a HYROX build, counted back from race day. These phase lengths are a convention, not a Roxmetric finding — we have no training-outcome data behind them, so treat the dates as a planning scaffold rather than a prescription.

What you'll lift at Rio de Janeiro
HYROX standards are global — nothing about Rio de Janeiro changes them. Three of the eight stations, Open divisions:
| STATION | WOMEN OPEN | MEN OPEN |

| Sled Push | 102 kg | 152 kg |
| Sandbag Lunges | 10 kg | 20 kg |
| Wall Balls | 4 kg | 6 kg |
Pace targets
What each goal time asks of your running. Read this as arithmetic, not a measurement: stations plus Roxzone are taken from the median Open Men shares fitted on 93,311 results (n=19,788 for this division), the remainder is divided across 8 km. Your own station times move every row — that is what the calculator is for.
| GOAL FINISH | STATIONS + ROXZONE | RUN BUDGET | AVG /KM |

| 1:15 | 51% | 36:58 | 4:37 |
| 1:30 | 51% | 43:52 | 5:29 |
| 1:45 | 52% | 50:37 | 6:20 |
