Jonczyk Sebastian Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Hey Sebastian! First off, let’s give you a massive shoutout for your performance at the 2024 Marseille Hyrox! Ranking 187 overall out of 1504 athletes puts you in the top 12%—that’s impressive! Plus, being 50th in your age group out of 314 is no small feat. Your overall time of 01:09:23 and a total running time that’s 30 seconds faster than average shows you’ve got some serious running chops! 🏆

Now, let’s talk pacing: it looks like you started off a bit slow with your first running segment at 5:37, which was 1:38 slower than average. This might have caused a ripple effect throughout your race. However, you kicked it into high gear during Running 2 with an impressive 3:47 lap—absolutely crushing it! This shows you’ve got the ability to ramp up your speed when needed. Your profile leans more towards being a runner, so let’s harness that and push those strength segments to match your running prowess. Remember, “The only easy day was yesterday.”

Segments to Improve:

• Farmers Carry: At 2:19, this segment was 32 seconds slower than average. To improve this, focus on grip strength and core stability. Try these exercises:
• Farmers Walk: Load up heavy kettlebells or dumbbells and walk for distance or time. Aim for 3 sets of 40-60 seconds.
• Single-Arm Farmers Carry: This will help you engage your core more as you stabilize while moving.
• Deadlifts: Strengthening your posterior chain will directly improve your Farmers Carry. Aim for 3-4 sets of 6-8 reps, focusing on form.
• Burpees Broad Jump: At 3:55, you were 39 seconds slower than average. To enhance your explosive power for this segment, include:
• Broad Jumps: Focus on explosive power. Try 3 sets of 5 jumps with maximum effort.
• Burpees with a Jump: Incorporate a vertical jump at the top of each burpee to build power. 3 sets of 10.
• Speed Skaters: This will help with lateral movement and explosiveness. 3 sets of 15 per side.
• Wall Balls: Clocking in at 4:50, you were 33 seconds slower than average. To speed this up, focus on your squat depth and throwing technique. Incorporate:
• Wall Ball Drills: Increase your reps to build endurance—try 4 sets of 15 reps.
• Squat to Press: This will help improve your strength in the full movement. 3 sets of 10.
• Core Work: Plank variations can enhance your stability for wall balls. 3 sets of 30-60 seconds.
• Ski Erg: At 4:27, you were 18 seconds slower than average. To boost your performance here, integrate the following:
• Ski Erg Intervals: 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off for 10 rounds. Focus on maintaining a consistent pace.
• Plyometric Push-Ups: This will help with explosiveness. 3 sets of 5-10 reps.
• Core Exercises: A strong core helps with overall power transfer—planks and Russian twists are great.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing: Start with a faster first segment to get your heart rate up but don’t go all-out—aim for a pace that feels sustainable. Adjust as needed based on how you feel.
• Transitions: Work on your roxzone time! Practicing quick transitions during your training will save valuable seconds. Think of it as a “race within a race” to keep that adrenaline pumping.
• Mindset: Stay mentally engaged throughout. Use mantras like “I am stronger than my excuses” to keep pushing through the toughest segments.
