Ten zones, ten 500m runs, one clock. Pick where you're at — this maps the run pace and zone budget behind that finish, so you're not guessing on the floor.
Levels are anchored to real finisher data from the 2025 DEKA FIT Austin field. DEKA's 500 m runs are shorter than HYROX's 1 km reps — so you can push them faster, if the zones don't cook your legs first.
| Segment | Target | Elapsed |

Your engine already transfers. The big adjustment: DEKA's runs are 500m, not 1km, so your target split is roughly — per rep — quicker turnover than your HYROX pace. But there are 10 zones vs 8 stations, so you're running on compromised legs more often. Pace the first three runs with discipline; that's where DEKA times are won and lost. Want it programmed for you and adapted as you improve? That's what Duravel does below.
