New Garmin Connect IQ app offers detailed information for training and competition

Hyrox combines elements of functional strength and endurance racing into a high-intensity format. While standard strength and cardio routines build a solid baseline, the sport's specific movement patterns and overall structure demand specialized preparation and tracking.

The Hybrid Smash app for Garmin smartwatches delivers targeted support for Hyrox competitors during both training and race day. During events, it tracks individual run segments, workout stations, and transition zones. Visual color bars highlight deviations between actual and target splits in real time. This metric feedback allows athletes to manage their pacing dynamically—helping them recognize when to dial back intensity on the runs to conserve energy for remaining stations.

Beyond race-day tracking, the app supports structured training with pre-configured and custom workouts, alongside a dedicated Hyrox competition simulator. Hybrid Smash is available on the Garmin Connect IQ Store for €10 and is compatible with a wide range of Garmin wearables, including the Forerunner 265 and older devices like the Fenix 6 Pro.
