Lagouireh Nayib Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Nayib, you put in a solid effort at the 2024 Stockholm Hyrox event, finishing with an overall time of 01:38:42, placing you in the top 80% overall and top 83% in your age group. That's something to be proud of! Your total running time of 00:45:49 is impressive—2:31 faster than average. This indicates that you have a strong running profile, which is a great asset in a Hyrox competition. However, we noticed that your pacing at the start, particularly in Running 1, was a bit slower than the average. Starting strong sets the tone for the race. Remember, “You can’t climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets.” You’ve got what it takes; now it’s about harnessing that potential! 💪

Segments to Improve:

Let's dive into where we can sharpen your edges to get you into that top percentile!

• Rowing (00:05:34): This segment was 00:28 slower than average, putting you in the 92nd percentile. Focus on improving your power output and technique.
  • Drills: Incorporate interval training on the rowing machine. Aim for 30 seconds of all-out effort followed by 30 seconds of rest, repeating this for 20-30 minutes.
  • Form correction: Ensure your drive is explosive—push through your legs hard and maintain a strong back angle. Remember, “Row like you’re trying to outrun a bear!”
• Farmers Carry (00:02:54): This segment was 00:24 slower than average, landing you in the 87th percentile. Strengthening your grip and core will help here.
  • Exercises: Incorporate heavy carries into your routine—specifically, practice with kettlebells or dumbbells in each hand, aiming for longer distances and heavier weights.
  • Technique: Focus on maintaining an upright torso and engaging your core. “It’s not just about carrying weights; it’s about carrying your dreams!”
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:06:42): This was 00:06 slower than average, putting you in the 76th percentile. Burpees can be brutal, but we can make them your friend!
  • Drills: Practice burpee to broad jump transitions—do 5 burpees followed immediately by a broad jump, then rest. Gradually decrease rest time.
  • Form correction: Ensure your jumps are powerful and use your arms to generate momentum. “Burpees: the only exercise that can make you question all your life choices!”

Race Strategies:

Implementing smart strategies during the race is crucial. Here are some tips to refine your approach:

• Pacing: Start with a controlled pace in the first 500m of the running segments. This will help you conserve energy for the later stages.
• Transitioning: Focus on quick transitions between exercises. Practice these in training to reduce your roxzone time. Try to visualize what comes next while completing the current exercise.
• Breathing techniques: Use rhythmic breathing during running segments to maintain endurance. Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth, especially on the burpees and rows.

Conclusion:

Nayib, you're on the right path, and your performance shows a lot of potential! By focusing on the targeted segments and implementing the strategies discussed, you’ll see improvements in your next Hyrox race.
