City Guide: Madrid +
Expected weather in July: 20-30°C (68-86°F), 40-55% humidity
For convenient access to the Madrid venue, consider staying in the districts of Vicálvaro or nearby areas. These locations offer a good balance of proximity to the event site and easy connections to the city center.
When it comes to dining, explore the culinary scene around your accommodation. Vicálvaro offers local tapas bars and restaurants where you can refuel with traditional Spanish dishes like 'tortilla española' or 'patatas bravas.' For a wider variety of international and Spanish cuisine, the Salamanca district, while a bit further, boasts a sophisticated array of eateries, from upscale dining to charming bistros.

What your training plan covers
A DEKA race demands more than just running or lifting. Our training plans balance three types of work so you arrive race-ready for every lap and every station.
Pure Running
Running makes up more than 50% of a DEKA race. We build your aerobic base and pacing strategy so you can hold a strong pace across all 10 km of running.
Functional Station Training
Targeted strength and conditioning for the 10 DEKA stations. SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmers carry, sandbag lunges, and wall balls.
Compromised Running
The true separator in DEKA. We program running intervals on fatigued legs to simulate the demands of running immediately after completing a station.
"I was skeptical about another fitness app, but TrainRox is different. It's built specifically for hybrid racing, not adapted from generic CrossFit templates."
