Alex Viada on HYROX Training, Zone 2, and Building a Complete Hybrid Engine
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, I’m joined by Alex Viada.
Alex is one of the original thinkers behind hybrid training and the person who coined the term. He’s the author of The Ultimate Hybrid Athlete and has been shaping how athletes think about combining strength and endurance long before HYROX existed as a sport.
We go deep into what actually matters for HYROX and other mixed-demand races, cutting through a lot of common confusion and noise around hybrid training.
In this episode, we cover:
What hybrid training really means and why HYROX is now its own distinct sport
The interference effect and how to manage strength and endurance together
Fatigue management, session ordering, and cutting out junk volume
Zone 2 training, when it helps and when it’s overrated
Plyometrics, running economy, and building strength that actually carries over
It’s a practical, detailed conversation focused on training smarter and understanding what truly moves the needle for performance.
