Dated to your race, not week numbers

Your programme counts back from London. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it — the plan bends, the race date doesn't.

Where to run your 1 km repeats

A Hyrox is eight 1 km runs with a station between each. Running them on flat, measured, repeatable ground is worth more than any single session you will do indoors. These are the closest measured 5 km courses to you.

ExCel

London · December 2026

Roughly 77 km from Hove in a straight line, which for most people is an early train rather than a hotel. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

[ Gyms in Hove ]

Where you can train in Hove.

Hove has plenty of choice, which means you can be picky. The thing to look for is not a Hyrox sticker on the door, it is a sled lane long enough to push on, a spare wall for wall balls, and a rower nobody queues for at 6pm.

Chains with a site here: énergie Fitness. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Hove.

Where to train in Hove

20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Hove. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.

Closest to the centre you have Fit Box, Healthy Vibes and Vida Active, the nearest of them about 0.1 km out. Ring before you join and ask two questions: is there floor space to push a sled, and can you throw a ball at a wall. Those answers decide more than any membership tier.

King Alfred Leisure Centre and Sportsdirect Fitness Hove are listed as sports centres rather than gyms. Multi-use sites are usually where the floor space is, which tends to be where the sled and carry work ends up happening.

énergie Fitness has a site here, so an existing membership may already cover you. If you are joining from scratch, a rolling monthly contract is worth the few extra pounds while you work out which sessions you actually turn up for.

Where to run around Hove

You are well served for measured running around Hove. 6 parkrun courses sit within reach: Hove Promenade parkrun, Brighton & Hove parkrun and Preston Park parkrun, Brighton are the closest three, Hove Promenade parkrun being about 0.8 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.

They spread from roughly 1 km out to 8 km, so pick one as the benchmark rather than running whichever is convenient — a different course is a different number.

Racing from Hove

Your nearest race is ExCel, about 77 km away. Far enough that an early wave means going the night before, which is worth budgeting for at the point you enter rather than the week before.

Between the race and the 20 places to train listed here, the constraint is rarely equipment. It is the calendar, which is why the programme is dated to a day rather than numbered by week.

[ Near Hove ]

Plenty of people train one town over, whether that is a better gym, a flatter route, or simply the one on the way home from work.
