This is our very first official weekly challenge inside Zone 8.
The goal is simple: create one consistent benchmark per week that allows every athlete here to measure progress, compare pacing strategies and build real HYROX engine capacity over time.
The format is straightforward but brutally effective:
Structure
• Run – 5 minutes
• Rest – 2 minutes
• Burpee Broad Jumps – 5 minutes
• Rest – 2 minutes
• Row – 5 minutes
Your final score is the total distance from all three segments.
Why this challenge?
Because it tests three key HYROX capacities in a single session:
• Sustainable speed on the run
• Power endurance under fatigue with Burpee Broad Jumps
• Closing strength and aerobic consistency on the rower
These challenges will be released weekly and serve as long-term performance indicators. You can repeat them anytime to track development.

Good luck and welcome to Week 1.
