Dated to your race, not week numbers
Your programme counts back from Manchester. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it — the plan bends, the race date doesn't.
An Elite 15 athlete behind the programming
Ben races in the HYROX Elite 15 Doubles with his brother Harry. The programming you follow is the structure he uses, scaled to your level.

The ground you actually train on in Leeds.
Leeds is Yorkshire's strongest Hyrox city. Multiple affiliate gyms across the city centre and Headingley, with a regular community of athletes travelling to Manchester Central for race weekends.
Your nearest race: HYROX Manchester →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.

Manchester Central Convention Complex
Manchester · January 2027
Roughly 59 km from Leeds 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.

Where you can train in Leeds.
Leeds 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: PureGym, Nuffield Health Fitness & Wellbeing, Anytime Fitness, TeamSport Go Karting, The Gym. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Leeds.
Where to train in Leeds
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Leeds. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have PureGym, Nuffield Health Fitness & Wellbeing and Leeds Aerial Arts, the nearest of them about 0.3 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.
Quarry House Leisure Centre and The Edge 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.
PureGym, Nuffield Health Fitness & Wellbeing and Anytime Fitness have sites 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 Leeds
You are well served for measured running around Leeds. 8 parkrun courses sit within reach: Woodhouse Moor parkrun, Cross Flatts parkrun and Potternewton parkrun are the closest three, Woodhouse Moor parkrun being about 1.6 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.
All of them sit within about 6 km of each other, so you can rotate courses without the travel changing, which makes the times comparable.
Racing from Leeds
Manchester Central Convention Complex is roughly 59 km from Leeds, close enough to be a normal morning rather than a trip. That is the one to build towards for a first race: no hotel, no unfamiliar bed, no early train.
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 Leeds ]
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.
