Innouche Jeremy Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Jeremy, stepping into the arena of Hyrox in Marseille and finishing with a time of 01:18:53 is no small feat! You landed in the top 38% of 1504 athletes, which shows you have the grit and determination that many lack. Your overall rank of 582 is a testament to your hard work, and being 78th in your age group is commendable too. But let’s dig deeper, because there’s always room for improvement! 💪

Now, let’s talk about your pacing. You have a solid runner profile, clocking in a total running time of 00:35:32, which is 04:14 faster than the average. This indicates that you've got the endurance to keep pushing. However, your first running segment was a bit slow, at 00:05:37, which was 01:15 slower than average. Starting off like a tortoise in a race against hares might not have been the best strategy. You need to find that sweet spot where you start strong but don’t burn out too soon. As David Goggins says, “You’re not gonna find your limits until you push yourself to them.” Time to push yourself a little more from the get-go! 🏆

Segments to Improve:

Now, let’s hone in on the segments that didn’t perform as well as we’d like:

• Wall Balls (00:07:44): This took a whopping 01:58 longer than average. The wall balls are a killer combination of strength and endurance, but your form might be letting you down. Focus on ensuring that your squat is deep enough, your catch is swift, and you’re using your legs to propel the ball up. Try doing sets of wall balls in intervals where you focus on explosive movements. A good drill is to perform wall balls after a short run to simulate race conditions.
• Sled Pull (00:06:29): This segment was 02:02 slower than average. What’s the deal here? It’s all about technique and leg drive. Practice with a sled, ensuring you’re using your legs to drive the pull, not just your arms. A great drill is to do a few sled pulls after a set of burpees to replicate the fatigue you’ll feel in the race. This will teach your body to keep pushing even when it wants to quit. 🥵
• Farmers Carry (00:02:38): You were 00:37 slower than average. To improve here, it’s crucial to focus on grip strength and posture. Try incorporating heavy carries into your workouts. A good exercise is to carry two heavy kettlebells or dumbbells for a set distance, concentrating on your form and keeping your core engaged.
• Sled Push (00:02:48): At 00:07 slower than average, you’re not too far off, but we want you to crush it! The sled push requires a lot of leg strength and explosive power. Work on doing heavy sled pushes in short bursts, followed by a rest period to simulate race conditions. Remember, it’s about the drive of your legs, so focus on pushing with your quads and glutes.

Race Strategies:

When it comes to race day, strategy can make all the difference. Here are a few tips to consider:

• Start Strong, but Controlled: Use your runner’s endurance to start at a pace that feels challenging but sustainable. Aim to pick it up in the second half of the race.
• Transitions Matter: You spent 00:05:37 in the roxzone, which is faster than average, but there’s always room for improvement. Practice your transitions in training. Use a stopwatch to time how quickly you can switch from one exercise to the next without losing momentum.
• Stay Mentally Engaged: Keep repeating motivational mantras or even some of your favorite quotes. When fatigue hits, it’s often the mental game that decides the race. Remember, “It’s not about being the best. It’s about being better than you were yesterday.”
• Keep Hydrated and Fueled: Don’t underestimate the power of hydration and nutrition before and during the race. It’s like putting the right fuel in a race car; you want to run smoothly without any stalls!
