Jiremo Robert Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Robert, you crushed it in the 2024 Stockholm Hyrox event! Finishing with an overall time of 01:24:12 places you in the top 50% of a competitive field of 1,096 athletes. That’s no small feat! With an impressive total running time of 00:40:13, you showed you have a runner's profile, clocking in 01:49 faster than average. Your pacing was solid, but it seems like you started a bit slower than you could have on the first run. You finished strong, especially in the latter running segments, which indicates that your endurance is definitely on point. Let’s harness that strength and push you to the next level!

Segments to Improve:

Now, let’s get into the meat and potatoes of your performance. There are a few segments where you can tighten up the screws and really drive your time down. Here’s your low-hanging fruit:

• Sandbag Lunges (00:05:57) - 71st Percentile Rank: This was your slowest segment, and there’s a big opportunity here. Focus on strength and technique to improve efficiency. Train with a heavier sandbag to build strength and endurance. Incorporate lunges into your weekly routine, aiming for higher reps with varied distances to simulate race conditions. Aim for form perfection: keep your core tight, and drive through your front heel!
• Wall Balls (00:06:20) - 47th Percentile Rank: A slight improvement in your Wall Balls could shave off precious seconds. Focus on your squat depth and explosiveness. Try doing wall balls in intervals, increasing the reps progressively. Work on your shoulder strength with overhead presses and incorporate core exercises to stabilize your performance. Pro tip: use a timer for high-rep sets, resting minimally between to simulate race pressure!
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:05:14) - 47th Percentile Rank: This segment is a mix of cardio and strength, and it looks like you can get faster. Focus on your burpee technique to minimize time spent on the ground. Practice explosive jumps and ensure you land softly to maintain speed. A great drill is to practice burpees followed immediately by broad jumps in a circuit format to build stamina and efficiency.

Now, let's not forget about your Roxzone time (00:08:29). It’s important to streamline your transitions. Practice transitioning between exercises in your training to develop a smoother and quicker race flow. Keep your gear organized and your mindset sharp during these moments!

Race Strategies:

• Pacing: Start your first run with a slightly more aggressive pace. Your best running lap is solid, so trust your legs and give it a bit more gas early on. It’s better to push a little harder in the first run and hold on than to leave time on the table!
• Focus on Breathing: During segments like the Sandbag Lunges and Wall Balls, concentrate on your breathing patterns. Efficient breathing will help maintain your energy levels.
• Mindset: Use positive affirmations during the race. If it gets tough (which it will), remind yourself: "I’m stronger than my excuses!" It’s about finishing strong, not just finishing.

Conclusion:

Robert, you have the potential to crush your next Hyrox race! Remember, every second counts, so let's sharpen those segments. Keep training hard, stay consistent, and embrace the grind. As David Goggins says, “The only way you get to the other side of this journey is by putting in the work.” You're already halfway there, so let’s finish what you started! 💪
