It’s all about finding out if your running strategy matched your overall finish time!
We pit your station times against athletes with similar finish times to see how you stack up. This chart shows if you crushed it, coasted, or found that sweet spot for your overall finish time.
Here’s the full breakdown of the race, station by station and run by run, stacked against the average of athletes with similar finish times.
In HYROX, pacing is the name of the game. The pacing line shows where you hit the gas, tapped the brakes, or nailed it perfectly—guiding the way to a more balanced and dominant race strategy.
With the RoxCoach Simulation machine, you can see how your predicted finish time evolves as you power through your race. This next-level tech recalculates your estimated finish time after every run and every station. Crushing the sled pull? Gaining ground on the row? Or holding strong in the Wall Balls? RoxCoach tracks it all, giving you the inside scoop on where you shined and where there’s room to level up.
This chart breaks down the splits for every athlete in the division, giving you a clear look at how times are distributed across the pack.
Compare performance to the competition, spotting where they dominated and where there’s room to improve.
You’ll see how they stack up against the Top 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and beyond. Outliers are out—so the focus stays on the real competition.
Based on our analysis, here are the focus areas for improvement. The goal is to determine how quickly the athlete could improve on some stations and where is the path of least resistance to improve his time.
The percentile rank is the current position of the athlete compared to the competition. It goes from 0 to 100, where 0 is the best and 100 is the worst. It show the potential improvement for each station. The athlete should focus on the stations with the highest potential improvement and the biggest duration.
A big improvement in the Farmer's carry station will not be as impactful as a small improvement in the wall ball station for instance. Just click on a station to see how easy it will be to improve and how important it is to focus on it during training.

James Thomas Simpson, competing in the age group 50-54, put up a robust performance in the 2024 Birmingham Hyrox race, finishing in the top 39% of all athletes and top 25% in his age group. With an overall time of 01:28:51, Simpson has demonstrated commendable strength and endurance for his age category. Notably, his total running time is 00:02 faster than the average, suggesting a strong running profile.
Analysis of his splits reveal a trend towards faster than average times in the latter stages of the race. This indicates a potentially cautious start, with an acceleration as the race progressed, suggesting a good pacing strategy. A more balanced pacing strategy, starting a bit faster, might improve his overall time.
It appears that Simpson starts the race slower, conserving energy for the latter stages. While this strategy has served him well, starting a bit faster could potentially improve his overall time without significantly impacting his endurance. This change in strategy should be practiced in training to ensure it is viable.
Additionally, Simpson should focus on improving his transition times in the Roxzone. This could include practicing the movement and transition between exercises, as well as improving his overall fitness to reduce recovery time.
Lastly, incorporating more strength training into his routine could enhance his performance in the strength-focused tasks, particularly the Wall Balls, Sled Push, and Sandbag Lunges. Strength training should focus on the specific muscles used in these tasks and mimic the movements as closely as possible.
