Roekke Beate Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Beate, congrats on your performance in the 2024 Stockholm Hyrox! Finishing with an overall time of 01:39:54 places you in the top 69% of a competitive field of 652 athletes. Not only did you rank 49th in your age group, but you also demonstrated an impressive total running time of 00:50:28, which is 10 seconds faster than the average. This indicates a strong running profile, so let's build on that foundation!

However, your pacing in the early parts of the race may have been a bit too fast, particularly in Running 1, where you clocked in at 00:05:08—24 seconds ahead of the average. This might have cost you some energy later in the race. While your running speed is a strength, we need to ensure that your transitions and strength exercises keep up with your pace to minimize any fatigue that could cause slowdowns in later segments.

Segments to Improve:

Now, let’s dive into the segments that need some TLC:

• Burpees Broad Jump (00:07:58): This segment was your slowest, coming in 49 seconds slower than average. A combination of strength, endurance, and technique plays a role here. To improve:
  • Drill: Incorporate “Burpee Box Jumps” into your routine. This will help with explosiveness when transitioning from burpees to the broad jump.
  • Technique: Focus on your landing mechanics. Ensure you land softly on your feet to minimize energy loss. Work on your core engagement to help stabilize your body during the jumps.
• Wall Balls (00:07:07): Clocking in 1:27 slower than average, it’s clear we can maximize efficiency here.
  • Drill: Practice “Wall Ball Throws with a Squat” in intervals. Aim for 5 sets of 15 throws with 30 seconds of rest in between. This will build both strength and endurance in your legs.
  • Form Correction: Ensure your squat depth is adequate. Aim for thighs parallel to the ground to fully engage your muscles when performing the throw.
• Roxzone (00:09:10): This was significantly slower than the average, indicating potential resting or transition inefficiencies.
  • Drill: Include “Transition Workouts” in your training. Set up a circuit of 4-5 exercises (e.g., burpees, wall balls, sled push) and practice quick transitions between them.
  • Strategy: Time your transitions. Aim to keep them under 1 minute. A good way to practice this is to set a stopwatch and challenge yourself to improve your transition time week by week.

Race Strategies:

In future races, consider the following strategies to help you maintain your strength and speed:

• Pacing: Start your race at a slightly slower pace to conserve energy for the latter segments. A good rule of thumb is to aim for about 5-10 seconds slower than your current pace for the first two runs.
• Segment Focus: For strength-based exercises, prioritize form over speed. This will help you maintain endurance throughout the race. Remember, a strong foundation will carry you through the tougher parts.
• Visualization: Before the race, visualize each segment and how you will approach it. This mental preparation can help you tackle challenges more effectively.
