TISSOT Yohann Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Yohann, you crushed it at the 2024 Frankfurt Hyrox! Finishing in 1:42:11 puts you in the top 85% overall and 89% in your age group—seriously impressive! 🔥 Your total running time of 46:07, which is 3:53 faster than average, shows you’ve got some serious speed. You're clearly more of a runner, but there’s always room to balance that with strength training.

Your pacing was interesting. Starting off a bit faster in Running 1 than average was a good call, but you need to manage that adrenaline rush better. You want to hit that sweet spot where you can maintain a strong pace without burning out. The splits tell me you need to focus on your transitions and strength segments, especially in the sled pull and farmer's carry. Remember, in Hyrox, every second counts—just like those burpees you did, I see you! 😅

Segments to Improve:

• Sled Pull (7:32): This segment was 1:30 slower than average, and this is a big area for improvement. Focus on your grip strength and core stability. Try this drill: attach a resistance band to a stable anchor, sit on the ground, and pull the band towards you while maintaining a strong core. Aim for 3 sets of 10-15 reps. Also, during your sled pull sessions, work on your form. Keep your hips low and drive with your legs while maintaining a strong grip.
• Farmers Carry (3:12): You were 36 seconds slower than average here. This could be a grip issue or a lack of overall strength endurance. Start incorporating heavy carries in your training. Use kettlebells or dumbbells and focus on walking for distance while maintaining good posture. Try to increase the weight gradually and clock a distance of around 100 meters. Aim for 4 sets with a moderate rest in between.
• Burpees Broad Jump (7:07): You were 20 seconds slower than average. Let’s turn that around! Incorporate more plyometric training into your routine. Try doing 3 sets of 10 burpees followed by broad jumps, focusing on explosive power. You can also work on your burpee technique—keep your movements tight and efficient to save energy. Remember, the key is to land softly and spring back up quickly!

Race Strategies:

• Transition Time: Your Roxzone time was a bit slow, which means you may need to work on your transitions. Practice moving from one exercise to the next with smooth, quick movements. Set up a practice circuit and time yourself. Aim to keep transitions under 30 seconds.
• Pacing Strategy: For your next race, consider starting at a slightly more controlled pace. You don’t want to burn out in the first half! Try pacing yourself to be about 10-15 seconds slower in the first running segments. This will help you maintain energy for the strength segments.
• Strength-Endurance Training: To balance out that running prowess, dedicate at least 2 days a week to strength training. Incorporate compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and overhead presses. These will help build the overall strength needed for Hyrox.

Conclusion:

Yohann, you’ve got the heart of a champion! Remember what David Goggins said: “You are never done. You are always in the fight.” Keep pushing those limits, and don't shy away from the hard work. The areas for improvement are just stepping stones to make you an even more formidable athlete. You have the potential to turn those weaknesses into strengths with focused training and the right mindset. Now get out there and show them what you’re made of! 💪🏆

If they say Hyrox is just a race, remind them: “It’s a test of grit and grind!” Keep that attitude up, and we’ll see you at the top of the leaderboard next time. I’m here for you, The Rox-Coach, ready to help you conquer your next challenge!
