Tew Maxim Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Maxim Tew displayed a commendable performance in the 2024 Singapore National Stadium Hyrox race, placing in the top 29% overall and within his age group. His overall time of 1:37:08 showcases strengths in strength-based exercises, significantly outperforming the average in events like the Sled Push, Sandbag Lunges, and Wall Balls. However, his total running time was notably slower than average, indicating a need to focus on running efficiency. The pacing suggests that Maxim started slightly faster than average but struggled to maintain this in subsequent running segments, which suggests a potential need for pacing strategy adjustments. His profile leans more towards a strength-based athlete rather than a runner or hybrid, given the slower total running time compared to the average.

Segments to Improve

• Total Running Time: Maxim's total running time is 6:45 slower than the average. This segment shows the most potential for improvement. Maxim should focus on improving his running endurance and speed. Incorporating interval training into his routine, such as 400m repeats at a pace faster than his race pace, will help. Additionally, performing tempo runs and long, slow-distance runs can enhance aerobic capacity and pacing consistency.
• Running Segments: Slower running splits from Running 2 onwards indicate a decline in running efficiency. Maxim should practice compromised running drills, such as running immediately after strength exercises, to simulate race conditions and improve endurance. Including hill sprints and fartlek sessions can also help increase leg strength and speed.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Although Maxim was faster than average, there's room for improvement. To enhance this, focus on plyometric exercises like box jumps and explosive push-ups to develop greater power and efficiency.
• Roxzone: Maxim's transition times were faster than average, yet optimizing this further could shave off crucial seconds. Practicing quick transitions in training sessions can improve familiarity and speed in these zones.

Race Strategies

• Pacing Strategy: Maxim should consider adopting a more conservative start to preserve energy for the later stages of the race. This could involve maintaining a steady pace for the initial running segments before gradually increasing speed if energy levels allow.
• Focus on Recovery: Implementing active recovery techniques between segments, such as deep breathing or dynamic stretching, can help maintain performance levels throughout the race.
• Transition Efficiency: Maxim should practice transitions to minimize time spent in the Roxzone. This involves rehearsing quick equipment setups and familiarizing himself with the transition process during training.
• Nutrition and Hydration: Maxim should ensure adequate nutrition and hydration leading up to and during the race to maintain energy levels and prevent fatigue.
