Hedman Ingrid Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Ingrid, first off, let’s celebrate that you finished strong in the 2024 Stockholm Hyrox event, ranking 541 overall out of 652 athletes and landing 12th in your age group. That places you in the top 82% overall and top 63% in your category—impressive! 🏆 Your overall time of 01:49:26 is a solid foundation to build on, and with a total running time of 00:52:52, you showed you have a runner's edge, coming in 02:02 faster than average. That’s no small feat!

However, your pacing in the earlier running segments, particularly Running 1, was a bit slower than average, suggesting that you might have started a touch too conservatively. Starting strong can be the difference between just finishing and smashing your goals. While you have a running profile, there’s room to elevate your strength segments, especially since some of your strength performance is not where it should be. Let’s dig deeper into the nitty-gritty.

Segments to Improve:

Your performance in the segments that need the most attention includes:

• Wall Balls: 00:08:38 (01:59 slower than average - 93rd Percentile Rank)
• Burpees Broad Jump: 00:09:13 (00:57 slower than average - 88th Percentile Rank)
• Sandbag Lunges: 00:06:38 (00:23 slower than average - 86th Percentile Rank)

To turn these segments into strengths, here’s a targeted approach:

• Wall Balls:
  • Focus on form: Ensure you are squatting low enough to engage your core and legs fully. Aim for a height that allows for a fluid motion without losing balance.
  • Drill: Incorporate sets of 10-15 wall balls into your training, focusing on speed and accuracy. Gradually increase the weight of the ball to build strength.
  • Conditioning: Combine wall balls with a short run (e.g., 400m) to simulate race conditions and improve your transition.
• Burpees Broad Jump:
  • Technique: Focus on explosiveness. When jumping, ensure you’re using your arms to propel yourself forward.
  • Drill: Set up a series of cones 10-15 feet apart and practice burpee broad jumps, aiming for maximum distance. Work on quick transitions between burpees and jumps.
  • Strength Work: Add box jumps to your routine to increase leg power.
• Sandbag Lunges:
  • Form: Keep your front knee behind your toes and maintain a straight back. This ensures proper engagement of your core and leg muscles.
  • Drill: Practice weighted lunges with a focus on speed. Start with lighter weights and gradually increase as your strength improves.
  • Endurance: Incorporate lunges into longer runs to simulate fatigue and improve your ability to maintain form over distance.

Race Strategies:

During your next race, consider implementing these strategies for better performance:

• Pacing: Aim for a consistent pace in the first running segment. Starting strong is essential, but don’t go all out. A strategic pace allows you to maintain energy for the strength segments.
• Transition Efficiency: Work on your roxzone time. Practice quick transitions in training—every second counts! Try visualizing where you’ll put your gear and plan your movements ahead of time.
• Stay Hydrated: Ensure you’re properly hydrated before the race. A well-hydrated athlete performs significantly better, especially in endurance events.
