Hyatlón H6 and H8
H6 and H8 alternate running with functional stations, but they do not have the same extension or the same stations. Here you will find the confirmed differences and general ways of working on those capabilities.
In-person training in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. This is an independent guide: Hybrid Heroes does not officially organise or represent Hyatlón H6 and H8.
The format, in brief
H6 and H8: two distances, two sequences
The official information consulted for Hyatlón describes H6 with six 1 km running segments and six stations, and H8 with eight 1 km segments and eight stations. Both schemes also show a final sprint after the wall balls. H8 adds sled pull and farmers carry compared to H6. The location and specific ground rules determine the called-up format and its conditions.
H8
8 × 1 km + 8 stations
Adds sled pull and farmers carry compared to H6, and a final sprint.
Stations
Ergometers, sled, and functional work
Loads depend on modality and category.
Understanding the demands
What changes when moving from H6 to H8
More running segments in H8
The 1 km segments total six kilometres in H6 and eight in H8; the final sprint of the official scheme is added to them. Practising repeated running blocks helps to sustain a reasonable pace while fatigue accumulates.
More stations in the sequence
H6 and H8 share stations such as SkiErg, sled push, burpee broad jump, RowErg, sandbag lunges, and wall balls. H8 also incorporates sled pull and farmers carry according to the official sequence consulted.
Effort control between tasks
Each run precedes a different movement. Being able to recover technique and adjust pace when exiting a station is just as relevant as the isolated capacity for running.
A useful comparison
How does it differ from Hyrox?
H8 shares a good part of the structure and movements of HYROX Singles 26/27; it would not be accurate to present them as completely different formats. H6 reduces the sequence and both Hyatlón formats have their own ground rules.
H6 has fewer segments and stations
H6 shows six 1 km segments and six stations. Compared to the eight in HYROX Singles, its sequence does not include sled pull or farmers carry. This changes the work distribution, although it still demands running and functional movements.
H8 is very similar in sequence
The H8 scheme presents eight 1 km segments and the same families of stations, in the same order as HYROX Singles. The similarity of the scheme does not imply that the loads, categories, or all the standards are identical.
Hyatlón shows a final sprint
The official H6 and H8 diagrams add a sprint after the wall balls; confirm its distance in your location's ground rules. The reference HYROX Singles format ends with the wall balls, without an equivalent ninth running segment.
Own organisation and regulations
Hyatlón and HYROX are different competitions. To choose category, loads, and strategy, use the ground rules for the specific test, not a chart from another organisation even if the movements look similar.
The base of running, strength, and technique can be similar, especially for H8. Adjust the volume to H6 or H8 and prepare for the finish and standards indicated by your call-up's ground rules.
At Hybrid Heroes
How to work on these skills at the gym
In our regular sessions, we coordinate running, ergometers, strength and technique to develop a useful base for hybrid formats. The coach adjusts the intensity to your level and can tailor priorities depending on whether you are preparing for H6 or H8.
Interval running
Practice repeated aerobic efforts with rest periods or intermediate tasks to learn how to start each segment with control and maintain continuity.
Ergometers and lower body
The rowing machines and SkiErg available, alongside leg work and sled pushes, serve to develop general skills present in the format.
Load, grip and technique
Functional exercises with loads can develop stability and muscular endurance. We adjust the movement to each person's level, not to unverified official weights.
The Hybrid Heroes method
Planned training with tracking
Strength and endurance are worked on as parts of the same preparation, with space for recovery. The intention is not to accumulate all the hard stimuli in every session: a coordinated programme helps to train consistently and to adjust the effort according to the individual and the work for the day.
Planning
Coordinate load and recovery
The preparation alternates functional strength work with endurance and technical practice. Ordering the stimuli and considering recovery allows for preventing each session from becoming another maximum effort; the goal is to sustain the process, not to replicate a race in every training session.
On-floor supervision
The trainer corrects and adjusts live
The sessions last 55 minutes and have a maximum of 8 people. The trainer observes the execution, corrects the technique in real time and adjusts the intensity during the work. The included heart rate monitor provides one more reference for regulating effort, along with how you feel and how you move.
Monitoring
Measurable progress
To assess evolution, compare references in similar conditions: loads used, repetitions completed and work times. Add the perception of effort and the heart rate response to put those results into context. They are training references, not a promise of a personal best or a laboratory measurement.

Frequently asked questions about Hyatlón
What is the difference between Hyatlón H6 and H8?
According to the consulted official information, H6 combines six 1 km segments with six stations, and H8 combines eight 1 km segments with eight stations. H8 adds a sled pull and farmers carry; both formats include a final sprint after the wall balls. Check the distances and the rules for your venue.
What weights should I use to prepare?
The weights depend on the category, the modality and the specific rules. We do not set a general load here: consult the current official table and work with the coach on weights appropriate for you.
Do the gym sessions replicate Hyatlón?
No. These are general hybrid training sessions that may involve running, strength, ergometers and functional movements; they are not a simulation nor an official Hyatlón activity.
