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.
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 36 km from Pyle 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 Pyle.
Pyle 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: YMCA, Nuffield Health Fitness & Wellbeing. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

[ Training in Pyle ]
What a Hyrox build looks like from Pyle.
Where to train in Pyle
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Pyle. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Ynysawdre Swimming Pool and Fitness Centre, Llangynwyd Rangers BGFC and Physique, the nearest of them about 8.3 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.
Ynysawdre Swimming Pool and Fitness Centre and Llangynwyd Rangers BGFC 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.
YMCA and Nuffield Health Fitness & Wellbeing 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 Pyle
Porthcawl parkrun, roughly 4.5 km from the centre of Pyle, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
Racing from Pyle
Principality Stadium is roughly 36 km from Pyle, 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 Pyle ]
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.
