Hunter McIntyre: How a 3x HYROX Champ Fuels a Training Day | Fuel the Work

Three-time HYROX World Champion Hunter McIntyre takes you inside a full training day in the California mountains — and shows exactly how he fuels the work. "The Sheriff" is deep in his last big block before World Championships, so we followed him through a double-threshold day out of the B Factory, his self-built gym in Crestline, CA. This one is a masterclass in fueling training, not just race day: the morning coffee-and-Maurten-Bicarb ritual, why bicarb lets him push 5–10% harder before the lactic acid hits, hitting ~250g of carbs before the first session even starts, and how he refuels between a brutal sled-and-hill block and an afternoon strength session. You'll see the real food too — steak, potatoes, coconut water, the mid-day nap — plus the crew culture that makes his training look more like a football team than an individual sport. It's loud, it's honest, and it's a clear look at what daily fueling actually looks like at the top of hybrid fitness. Race day is the test. Training is where performance is built.
