Programming with a race at the end of it.
Dated to your race, not week numbers
Your programme counts back from Cardiff. 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.

Your nearest race: HYROX Cardiff →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.

Your nearest race
Principality Stadium
Cardiff · May 2027
Roughly 71 km from Llanelli 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 Llanelli ]
Where you can train in Llanelli.
Enough choice in Llanelli to find one that suits the training rather than the other way round. Ring ahead and ask about sled space and a wall you are allowed to throw at, because those two decide more than anything on the membership page.
Chains with a site here: Snap Fitness, PureGym, Everlast Gyms. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What a Hyrox build looks like from Llanelli.
Where to train in Llanelli
Llanelli has 9 places to train within reach. Not a wide field, and it means the sensible move is to build the programme around what one or two of them actually have rather than hunting for a perfect fit.
Closest to the centre you have Snap Fitness, PureGym and Llanelli Bowling Club, 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.
Llanelli Bowling Club and Coedcae School Sports Hall 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.
Snap Fitness, PureGym and Everlast Gyms 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 Llanelli
Sandy Water parkrun, roughly 0.9 km from the centre of Llanelli, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
Racing from Llanelli
Your nearest race is Principality Stadium, about 71 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 9 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 Llanelli ]
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.
