Auvert Eduardo Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Eduardo, first off, congrats on your performance at the 2024 Copenhagen Hyrox! Finishing with an overall time of 01:43:15 puts you in the top 61% of 1014 athletes, which is no small feat! With a total running time of 00:48:37, you clearly have a runner's edge—faster than average, no less! Your best running lap of 00:05:03 shows that you can really turn on the jets when it counts. However, there are a few segments where you lost some momentum that we can work on together.

Your pacing in the first running segment seems to have been a bit too conservative, coming in 00:24 slower than average. It’s like warming up your car in winter—sure, it feels good, but sometimes you just need to hit the road! Given your overall profile, it seems you have a solid foundation for running, but we need to tackle some strength elements to balance that out and ensure you’re not just fast on the track but also in the gym.

Segments to Improve:

• Sled Push (00:05:15): This was your slowest segment, clocking in 01:45 slower than average. To improve here, try incorporating more strength-based workouts focused on pushing movements.
  • Drills: Include sled pushes in your training twice a week. Start with lighter weights and gradually increase as you build power.
  • Technique: Focus on maintaining a low center of gravity and driving through your legs rather than relying solely on your upper body.
• Sled Pull (00:07:35): Similar to the sled push, you need to build strength here too. This segment was 01:33 slower than average.
  • Drills: Incorporate heavy rope pulls or resistance band pulls in your workouts. Aim for sets that last 30-60 seconds to mimic race conditions.
  • Technique: Keep your body low and pull with your legs as much as possible. It’s all about leg drive!
• Farmers Carry (00:03:23): You spent 00:47 longer than the average athlete here.
  • Drills: Practice heavy carries with kettlebells or dumbbells, focusing on grip strength and posture. Start at a distance of 20-30 meters and slowly increase.
  • Technique: Keep your shoulders back and engage your core to avoid rounding your back.
• Roxzone (00:11:45): Ouch! 00:02:39 slower than average means you spent a bit too long resting here.
  • Drills: Practice quick transitions in training. Set up mini-competitions with friends or training partners to simulate race conditions.
  • Technique: Always have a pre-planned strategy for your transitions. The faster you can get in and out, the better!

Race Strategies:

When it comes to the race itself, your strategy can make all the difference. Here are a few tips:

• Pacing: Start with a slightly faster pace in your first running segment to avoid losing too much time. Aim for a pace that feels challenging but sustainable.
• Transitions: Practice your transitions in training. The less time you spend between exercises, the more time you have to crush it in the next segment. Remember, you’re not in a coffee shop taking an espresso break! 💥
• Strength Conditioning: Incorporate strength workouts into your running regimen. A good balance of strength and endurance is key to dominating Hyrox.
• Mindset: Keep a positive mindset. Remember that "Success is where preparation and opportunity meet." You’ve got this!

Conclusion:

Eduardo, you’ve shown that you have what it takes to be competitive in Hyrox. With some focused training on those key segments, you’ll be able to turn weaknesses into strengths. Remember, the journey to improvement is a marathon, not a sprint—except when it’s a Hyrox race, then it’s both! 🏆

Keep your head high, work on those areas of improvement, and you’ll see your rank climb faster than a sprinter at the starting gun. You got this, and I’m here to help you along the way! Stay strong, stay focused, and let’s crush those goals together. 💪
