HYROX Race Preparation Camp in the Canary Islands

Most HYROX training focuses on building the engine — SkiErg intervals, sled work, running volume. This camp assumes you've done that groundwork and shifts to the part that's harder to practise alone: how to actually race the thing.

Sessions cover pacing across the eight stations, when to push and when to hold back, how to transition without wasting time or energy, and how to manage the mental side when you're deep into the second half of the race. Hugo Hugemark leads the coaching. He's a Playitas ambassador who's competed at HYROX events across Europe and knows what separates a good training performance from a good race result.

The format is structured but not exhausting — this isn't about accumulating fatigue before race day, it's about arriving sharp. Expect a mix of coached workouts, strategy walkthroughs, and race simulations at controlled intensity. There's time to use Playitas' other facilities between sessions, but the primary focus is preparation, not a holiday training camp.

Playitas Resort sits on the southeast coast of Fuerteventura, built around a serious sports complex with an Olympic pool, athletics track, and dedicated functional fitness areas. The setting is dry, warm, and quiet — good conditions for focused work without distractions.
