Martin Jeremy Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Hey Jeremy! First off, let’s give you a high five for rocking the 2024 Amsterdam Hyrox event! Finishing in the top 40% overall and top 42% in your age group is no small feat—definitely something to be proud of! Your overall time of 1:30:46 shows that you’ve got the endurance to keep pushing through those tough moments. However, you’ve got a little room for improvement when it comes to your running pace: your total running time of 49:52 is about 4:54 slower than average, indicating that you might want to shift gears and work on that running speed.

Now, looking at your splits, it seems like you started off a bit slower than the average, especially in that first running segment. You’re definitely more of a hybrid athlete, but we need to fine-tune that running to give you the edge you’re looking for. Remember, “Champions keep playing until they get it right!” So let’s dive into those segments that need a little extra love.

Segments to Improve:

• Running 1 (00:05:58): 1:14 slower than average. It seems like you might have played it a bit too safe at the start. To boost your pacing, try doing some negative split runs—start at a comfortable pace and gradually speed up. This will help you learn to push harder when it counts!
• Sandbag Lunges (00:05:53): 23 seconds slower than average. To improve here, focus on strength and technique. Incorporate weighted lunges into your routine, aiming for 3 sets of 10-15 reps per leg. Focus on keeping your core tight and taking long strides to engage those glutes and quads effectively.
• Sled Pull (00:04:55): 20 seconds faster than average, but there’s still room for improvement! To increase your sled pull speed, add more resistance training to your regimen. Try doing sled drags for distance, mixing in some explosive movements like box jumps or kettlebell swings, which will help you build that explosive power you need on race day.
• Roxzone (00:06:47): You’re 41 seconds faster than average here, which is great! But let’s see if we can drop it even further. Work on your transition drills. Set up a mini course where you practice quick transitions between running and exercises. Time yourself and aim to cut your transition time down by at least 10 seconds each time!

Race Strategies:

During your next race, consider these strategies:

• Start Strong, Not Fast: Your pacing in the first segment is crucial. Try to find a rhythm that feels sustainable but allows for a strong finish. Keep in mind those negative splits!
• Visualize Transitions: Before the race, visualize each transition. Picture yourself smoothly moving from one exercise to the next with minimal downtime. Practice makes perfect!
• Mind Over Matter: When you hit that wall (and you will!), remind yourself why you’re out there. Keep repeating, “I’m stronger than my excuses!”

Conclusion:

Jeremy, you’ve got the potential to take your Hyrox game to new heights! Embrace the process, and remember that improvement comes from consistent effort and a willingness to learn. “It’s not about being the best. It’s about being better than you were yesterday.” So take these insights, put in the work, and let’s crush that next race together! 🏆💪

Stay strong, and let’s make those segments into strengths! You’ve got this! - The Rox-Coach
