There are 5 gyms and sports centres within reach of the centre of Milford Haven, and this programme is written around whichever one you use.

Tell us your race date and every session lands on a calendar day. Miss a week and Sunday's rebuild absorbs it. The plan bends, the race date doesn't.
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.

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.
Distances are straight-line from the centre of Milford Haven, not journey times. Source: parkrun’s own events feed.
Your nearest race
NEC Birmingham
Birmingham · October 2026
Roughly 241 km from Milford Haven in a straight line, so treat it as a weekend away rather than a day out, and book the room when you book the race. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.
Straight-line distance from the centre of Milford Haven to the venue. Check the official Hyrox calendar for final dates.
[ Gyms in Milford Haven ]
Enough choice in Milford Haven 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.

Milford Haven has 5 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 Milford Haven Leisure Centre, B-Fit and Thornton Hall, the nearest of them about 0.6 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.
Milford Haven Leisure Centre and Thornton 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.
Milford Waterfront parkrun, roughly 0.3 km from the centre of Milford Haven, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
A Hyrox is eight kilometre runs with a station between each, which means the skill being tested is running on tired legs, not running fresh. Do at least one session a week where the running comes after the hard work rather than before it.
NEC Birmingham is the nearest venue at roughly 241 km, so racing means a weekend away. Enter early, book the room at the same time, and treat the travel as part of the plan rather than an afterthought.
Whichever race you enter, the date is what makes a programme a programme. Twelve weeks is the standard build, sixteen if you are starting from very little running, and every session lands on a calendar day rather than a week number.
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.
