Mogridge Imogen Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Imogen, you crushed it out there at the 2024 London Hyrox, finishing in a solid 01:18:27 and landing in the top 12% of all competitors! 🎉 Your total running time of 00:37:01 shows that you have a distinct runner profile, outperforming the average by a whopping 3:36. This is fantastic! However, your pacing in the early running segment (Running 1) was a bit too conservative, clocking in at 5:15, which is 39 seconds slower than average. This could have cost you some valuable time. Remember, racing is about finding that sweet spot between speed and endurance—like trying to juggle while riding a unicycle! 🏆

Your performance in strength-based exercises like the Sled Push and Burpees Broad Jump indicates areas where you can significantly improve. Given your strong running capabilities, let’s focus on elevating your strength and transitioning skills to become an all-around Hyrox powerhouse!

Segments to Improve:

• Burpees Broad Jump (00:06:17) - This segment was significantly slower than average. Focus on explosive power and endurance here.
  • Drills: Incorporate plyometric burpees into your routine. Aim for 3 sets of 10-15 reps, focusing on speed and landing softly.
  • Technique: Ensure your jump lands you in a strong, athletic position. Practice transitioning quickly from the jump to the next burpee.
• Wall Balls (00:05:09) - This was another segment that needs work.
  • Drills: Try a circuit of 3 rounds of 15 wall balls, focusing on form—keep your core tight and aim for consistent height.
  • Technique: Work on your squat depth; a deeper squat will help with the explosive upward motion.
• Sandbag Lunges (00:04:39) - A solid area for improvement to boost your overall performance.
  • Drills: Incorporate weighted lunges into your leg day, aiming for 3-5 sets of 10-12 per leg.
  • Technique: Focus on your foot placement and ensure your knee doesn’t extend beyond your toes during the lunge.
• Sled Push (00:02:56) - This is crucial for overall strength and power.
  • Drills: Include sled pushes in your training, performing 5-7 sets of 20-30 meters with maximum effort.
  • Technique: Keep your body low and drive through your legs—think of it like pushing a stubborn friend out of the way at the buffet line!

Race Strategies:

• Pacing: Start your first run segment with a slightly more aggressive pace. Aim for a 4:55-5:05 to set a solid foundation.
• Transitions: You spent about 6:48 in the roxzone, which is 1:15 slower than average. Practice your transitions!
  • Set up mock transitions in training to simulate race conditions. Time yourself and try to beat that time each session!
• Mindset: Channel that inner David Goggins; embrace the discomfort during tough segments. Remember, "The only way to get through is to go through it!"
