Hultman Simon Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Simon Hultman performed well in the 2023 Stockholm Hyrox race, finishing with an overall rank of 143 out of 266 athletes and ranking 18th in his age group (25-29). His performance placed him in the top 53% of all athletes and the top 66% of his age group.

In terms of overall time, Simon completed the race in 1 hour, 42 minutes, and 28 seconds. His total running time was 51 minutes and 14 seconds, which was 3 minutes and 52 seconds slower than the average for his finish time. This indicates that Simon may benefit from improving his overall fitness and transition time in order to reduce the time spent in the "roxzone."

Segments to Improve

1. Run Total: Simon's total running time was slower than average, suggesting that he may need to focus more on his running training. To improve his running performance, Simon should incorporate interval training, hill sprints, and tempo runs into his training routine. These exercises will help improve his speed, endurance, and overall running form.

2. Burpees Broad Jump: Simon lost 2 minutes and 22 seconds compared to the average time for this segment. To improve his performance in this exercise, Simon should focus on strengthening his upper body and core muscles. Incorporating exercises such as push-ups, pull-ups, planks, and burpees into his training routine will help improve his overall strength and power.

3. Running 5: Simon lost 33 seconds compared to the average time for this running segment. To improve his performance in this area, Simon should focus on increasing his running speed and endurance. Incorporating longer distance runs, interval training, and tempo runs into his training routine will help improve his overall running performance.

4. Running 8: Simon lost 29 seconds compared to the average time for this running segment. Similar to Running 5, Simon should focus on increasing his running speed and endurance to improve his performance in this area. Incorporating longer distance runs, interval training, and tempo runs into his training routine will help improve his overall running performance.

5. Rowing: Simon lost 18 seconds compared to the average time for this exercise. To improve his rowing performance, Simon should focus on improving his technique and building his upper body and core strength. Incorporating rowing machine workouts, such as intervals and longer endurance rows, into his training routine will help improve his rowing efficiency and speed.

6. Running 3: Simon lost 16 seconds compared to the average time for this running segment. Similar to the previous running segments, Simon should focus on increasing his running speed and endurance to improve his performance in this area. Incorporating longer distance runs, interval training, and tempo runs into his training routine will help improve his overall running performance.

Strategies

- Simon should focus on pacing himself throughout the race to ensure he maintains a steady and sustainable effort. Going out too fast in the early stages of the race may lead to fatigue later on.
- During the race, Simon should prioritize efficient transitions between exercises to minimize time spent in the "roxzone." Practicing quick and smooth transitions in training will help improve his overall race performance.
- Simon should also consider incorporating more specific race simulations into his training routine. This can include practicing the sequence of exercises and transitions he will encounter during the race to develop a better understanding of his pacing and strategy.
