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.

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 Sheppard performed admirably in the 2024 Birmingham HYROX race, placing within the top 66% of his age group and the top 63% of all athletes. His overall time was 01:57:54, with a total running time of 00:48:49, which is notably 08:27 faster than the average. This suggests that James has a strong runner profile and excels in endurance-based exercises. However, his pacing could be adjusted in the earlier running segments, such as Running 1, where he started slightly slower than average.
James should implement a few strategies to improve his overall performance in the race. Firstly, he should focus on pacing himself better in the early running segments to conserve energy for the strength-based segments. He could also benefit from implementing a warm-up routine that specifically targets the muscles used in the exercise segments, to prepare his body for the challenges ahead. Additionally, he should focus on nutrition and hydration before and during the race, to ensure his body has the necessary fuel to perform at its best.
