HYROX Nutrition Playbook – Head Judge Guide

Science-Backed Nutrition Strategies from a HYROX Head Judge, PhD in Functional Nutrition & Sub 60 10km Runner

I’m Dr. Yen Yong. HYROX Thailand Head Judge. PhD in Functional Nutrition. 61 years old. Sub‑60 minute 10km runner. I’ve seen hundreds of athletes lose time due to poor nutrition — and I’ve seen what the top 1% do differently.
This course is NOT generic nutrition advice. It’s a step‑by‑step system: from 7 days before race day, to race morning breakfast, to the 30‑minute post‑race recovery window — all backed by science and real Hyrox experience.
You‘ll learn: how to carb load like an elite athlete, what to eat on race morning, how to hydrate during the race, and how to recover in the 30‑minute golden window. Plus, you’ll get a complete plant‑based athlete plan and a Head Judge‘s insider guide to avoiding penalties.
