Murray Jane Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Jane Murray delivered a commendable performance at the 2024 Perth Hyrox event, ranking 80th overall and 11th in her age group, placing her in the top 11% of athletes. Her total time of 01:24:53 demonstrates her competitive edge, particularly in running. Her total running time of 00:39:38 was notably 4:44 faster than average, highlighting her as a strong runner with a clear advantage in running segments. However, Jane's initial pacing was slightly slower, as seen in Running 1, but she quickly found her rhythm, maintaining a faster pace in subsequent running segments. Overall, Jane exhibits a hybrid profile with a notable strength in running, but there is room for improvement in strength-based exercises.

Segments to Improve

• Roxzone (00:02:52 slower than the 25th percentile)

  Training Strategy: Focus on enhancing transition efficiency. Implement drills that simulate race conditions, like practicing quick transitions between different exercise stations. Include exercises such as burpees followed by short sprints, emphasizing minimal rest and rapid transition between exercises.

• Sled Pull (00:02:19 slower than the 25th percentile)

  Training Strategy: Improve upper body and core strength. Incorporate exercises like bent-over rows, deadlifts, and core stabilization drills. Practice the sled pull with varied weights to build endurance and strength, ensuring proper form with a focus on engaging the core and using the lower body efficiently.

• Burpees Broad Jump (00:00:41 slower than the 25th percentile)

  Training Strategy: Enhance explosive power and endurance. Include plyometric exercises such as box jumps, squat jumps, and burpee variations in your routine. Focus on maintaining form and speed throughout the exercise to build resilience.

• Rowing (00:00:38 slower than the 25th percentile)

  Training Strategy: Optimize rowing technique and endurance. Implement interval rowing sessions, focusing on maintaining a consistent stroke rate and power. Include strengthening exercises for the back and shoulders to increase power output.

• Ski Erg (00:00:36 slower than the 25th percentile)

  Training Strategy: Focus on improving technique and endurance on the Ski Erg. Practice interval training sessions to enhance cardio capacity and power. Include exercises like lat pulldowns and tricep extensions in your strength training routine.

Race Strategies

• Pacing: Begin with a more controlled pace to avoid early fatigue, particularly in the first running segment. Gradually increase speed as comfort and endurance build throughout the race.
• Transition Efficiency: Practice quick transitions and minimize rest in the roxzone by simulating race conditions during training. Focus on mental cues to smoothly move between exercises.
• Compromised Running: Implement training scenarios where running is performed after strength exercises, such as sled pulls or burpees, to adapt to the fatigue experienced in a race.
• Strength-Endurance Balance: Continue to build on running strength while enhancing endurance in strength-based exercises through circuit training and mixed-modality workouts.
