Overall Performance
Finlay Burgess demonstrated an impressive performance at the 2024 Birmingham HYROX event, especially given his overall rank of 1965 out of 4107 athletes, placing him in the top 47% of the field. Furthermore, his performance placed him in the top 53% of his age group (30-34 years). His overall time was 01:34:43, with a total running time of 00:44:35, which was 02:23 faster than the average. This clearly indicates that Finlay has a strong runner profile. However, his Roxzone time was slower than average, indicating a need for improved transitions and overall fitness. His pacing in the initial running segments was slower than average, but he progressively improved and finished strong, suggesting a potential strategy of starting slower to conserve energy for the latter part of the race.
Segments to Improve
Roxzone: Finlay’s Roxzone time was 01:30 slower than the average, suggesting a need for improved transitions and overall fitness. Specific drills that emphasize swift transitions, such as high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or circuit training could be beneficial. He could also incorporate exercises like burpees, box jumps or kettlebell swings to improve his overall fitness.
Sled Push: Finlay’s Sled Push time was 00:56 slower than average. He could benefit from incorporating more leg-strengthening exercises such as squats, lunges, or leg presses. He could also practice the specific movement of pushing a weighted sled to become more efficient and faster in this segment.
Burpees Broad Jump: Finlay’s Burpees Broad Jump was 00:22 slower than average. Plyometric exercises, such as box jumps and power skipping, could help improve his explosive power and speed. Practicing burpees with a focus on form and efficiency might also help improve his performance in this segment.
Sandbag Lunges: Finlay’s Sandbag Lunges were 00:14 slower than average. Strength training focusing on the lower body, such as weighted lunges or step-ups, could help improve his performance in this segment. Practicing lunges with a sandbag can also help improve his form and efficiency.
Race Strategies
Given Finlay's strong runner profile, he could benefit from a race strategy that capitalizes on this strength while also addressing his weaknesses. A potential strategy could be to start the running segments at a moderate pace, allowing him to conserve energy for the strength segments where he needs improvement. This would also allow him to finish the running segments strong, making up for any time lost in the strength segments. Additionally, he should focus on improving his transitions in the Roxzone to further improve his overall time.
