Station 5 of 8

Hyrox Rowing 1000m

1,000 metres on a rowing machine, the fifth station and the halfway point of the race.

Typical times and loads

Race split is the median athlete in each field last season, from real results. Fresh is the same effort done on its own. Pro athletes are fitter than the Open field, so a Pro time can be quicker even where the load is heavier.

What a faster Rowing is worth

Take 30 seconds off a fresh Rowing 1000m and the predicted finish comes down by about 33 seconds. The station is raced tired, so time saved fresh is worth a little more on race day.

One thing that helps

Most of the power is in the legs. A controlled stroke rate lets heart rate settle before the carry, which is worth more than a few seconds pushed here.
