Overall Performance

Pascual Czerny delivered a commendable performance at the 2024 Stuttgart Hyrox event, finishing in the top 49% overall and top 50% in his age group. With an overall time of 01:37:02, his total running time was notably stronger, finishing 03:30 faster than the average. This indicates that Pascual has a distinct advantage in running, showcasing a runner profile. However, his pacing strategy appeared to be well-balanced, not starting too fast or too slow, with standout performances in running segments 3, 5, 6, and 7. Despite his strong running capabilities, improvement in strength-based exercises and transitions can further enhance his performance.

Segments to Improve

• Wall Balls: This was the most significant area for improvement, with a time 03:05 slower than average. Training Strategies:
  • Focus on improving leg endurance and shoulder strength through exercises like squats and shoulder presses.
  • Drill: High-repetition wall ball practice with lighter weights to improve form and efficiency.
  • Form Correction: Ensure to squat deeply and use momentum from legs to aid the throw.
• Roxzone: Time spent in transitions was 01:21 slower than average. Training Strategies:
  • Improve transition efficiency through practice races with quick transitions between exercises.
  • Incorporate agility drills like shuttle runs to boost overall fitness and speed in transitions.
• Sled Pull: Slightly slower than average by 00:01, but potential for improvement. Training Strategies:
  • Increase upper body and core strength with exercises like deadlifts and bent-over rows.
  • Drill: Practice pulling heavy sleds with varied grips to simulate race conditions.
• Burpees Broad Jump: 00:14 faster than average, yet still room for improvement. Training Strategies:
  • Enhance explosive power and agility with plyometric exercises such as box jumps and tuck jumps.
  • Focus on refining technique to reduce time between burpees and jumps.
• Ski Erg: 00:20 slower than average. Training Strategies:
  • Increase cardiovascular endurance and upper body power with interval training on the erg machine.
  • Form Correction: Maintain a strong core and use a full range of motion.

Race Strategies

• Efficient Transitions: Practice quick transitions between exercises to reduce Roxzone time, focusing on smooth, controlled movements.
• Compromised Running: Incorporate running drills immediately after strength exercises to simulate race fatigue conditions.
• Pacing Strategy: Maintain a steady pace throughout the race, leveraging strong running capabilities while conserving energy for strength segments.
• Nutritional Considerations: Ensure adequate fueling and hydration strategies are in place before and during the race to sustain energy levels.
