Building Endurance for ATHX, HYROX, Running & Cycling with the Concept2 Bike

At Revival Personal Training in Hammersmith, we don’t just train bodies—we build athletes. Whether you're prepping for ATHX, HYROX, your next 10K, or a long-distance cycling challenge, endurance is the foundation of performance. And one of the most underrated tools in your endurance arsenal? The Concept2 BikeErg.


Let’s break it down.

Why Endurance Matters

Endurance is your ability to sustain effort over time. It’s not just about cardio—it's about resilience. In ATHX or HYROX, you're battling through functional movements under fatigue. In running or cycling, you're demanding consistent output, efficient recovery, and mental stamina.


To perform at your peak, you need more than willpower—you need a strategy. Enter: structured endurance training with tools that push your limits and track your growth.


The Concept2 BikeErg: Your Secret Weapon

The Concept2 Bike isn’t just a piece of kit—it’s a performance lab. With precise resistance control, accurate data tracking, and smooth mechanics, it’s ideal for building both aerobic base and high-intensity capacity.


Why we love it at Revival:

  • Low-impact, joint-friendly

  • Scalable for beginners to elite athletes

  • Measures watts, cadence, distance & more

  • Easily programmed for intervals, steady-state, or threshold efforts


Endurance Training for ATHX & HYROX

ATHX and HYROX events test your ability to combine strength with sustained cardiovascular effort. You’re looking at high-volume work under time pressure—sled pushes, wall balls, running, rowing, and more.


How to use the BikeErg to prep:

  1. Zone 2 SessionsBuild your aerobic engine.

    45–60 mins @ 60–70% max HR (conversational pace)

  2. Threshold IntervalsImprove lactate tolerance (key for sleds & wall balls).

    4 x 8 mins @ threshold pace, 2-min rest

  3. Brick SessionsMimic race fatigue. Combine modalities:

    2 rounds of:10-min BikeErg → 20 wall balls → 10 burpees


Running & Cycling Endurance: Maximise Your Output

For runners and cyclists, endurance means economy. It’s about improving your aerobic base while boosting power and cadence consistency.


Concept2 Workouts for You:


  1. Tempo ProgressionsGet comfortable being uncomfortable.

    3 x 10 mins:Zone 2 → Zone 3 → Low Zone 4, minimal rest

  2. Cadence DrillsMimic road cycling cadence.

    10 x 1 min @ 90–100 RPM / 1 min easy

  3. Recovery RidesPerfect post-run flush or active rest days.

    30–45 mins easy spin, HR under 65%


Pro Tips from Our Coaches

  • Consistency beats intensity. 2–3 sessions per week trumps one killer workout.

  • Data is your coach. Use the monitor to track watts, HR, and splits.

  • Train your mind too. Long BikeErg efforts challenge mental endurance—use this to your advantage.

Whether you’re chasing a HYROX podium or smashing a century ride, endurance is what gets you there—and the Concept2 Bike is one of the smartest ways to train it.
