HYROX recovery routine: where the shower fits
HYROX training stacks running on top of stations: sleds, wall balls, lunges, carries. Most weeks mix run sessions, strength sessions and at least one session that strings the two together.
That's a lot of work, and not much spare time around it. The recovery slot almost everyone already has is the shower after. State of Recovery (S.O.R) was built for that shower.
Keep the basics. Then use the shower you're already taking.
Sleep, food and mobility come first. S.O.R adds 3 steps to the post-session shower: gel, scrub, moisturiser. 1,350mg of magnesium across the full routine, and no extra time.
The basics come first.
No skincare routine replaces sleep, eating enough, and a warm-down and mobility work. If something hurts rather than just feeling heavy, talk to a physio or your doctor. S.O.R sits alongside the basics. It doesn't stand in for them.
3 steps after a stations session.
Muscle Shower Body Gel
Clear gel, lathers to a white foam. Work it over the legs, shoulders and back you just loaded on the sled and the wall balls. The cooling hits from the first lather.
Muscle Shower Body Scrub
Epsom salt crystals, magnesium, arnica and menthol. Use it on 2-3 of your hardest days a week, after the gel, then rinse.
Muscle Body Moisturiser
After the shower. Towel off, then work it into quads, calves and shoulders. It stays on.
$110 bought separately. Ships free in Australia.
Race week.
Keep it simple. Nothing new on race week. If S.O.R is already in your routine, keep the same 3 steps after your last sessions and after the race. If it isn't, start after race day, not before.
