The program’s own rules, as Catalyst runs them.
Complete sixteen weeks, including Sunday recovery, the half-marathon test in week twelve and the five-kilometre test in week sixteen. Choose weights you can lift cleanly and use your actual effort to guide them; there is no automatic weight progression. You can spread the one hundred push-ups and fifty pull-ups through the day or use them as a warm-up. Follow the running segments and recovery periods, treating approximate mile totals as guidance. Before doing optional HYROX work, choose its activities and full round structure.
Everything its exercises call for. Missing something? The app suggests swaps that train the same thing.
See every program like it ranked for what you want, how often you train and what you have, each with why it fits and what doesn’t. Compare any three side by side.
