Overall Performance
Thomas Mullen delivered a commendable performance in the 2024 Amsterdam Hyrox race, finishing with an overall rank of 935 out of 3118 athletes, placing him in the top 29%. In his age group, he ranked 166 out of 555, also in the top 29%. His overall time was 01:23:26.
His total running time was particularly impressive at 00:41:44, which was 00:23 faster than the average, suggesting a strong running profile. However, the pattern of his running splits indicates that he started very fast, especially in Running 1. As the race progressed, his running times slowed down, indicating potential fatigue or strategic pacing that could be optimized.
Segments to Improve
Sandbag Lunges (00:05:28, 00:35 slower than average)
Technique Improvement: Focus on maintaining an upright posture and stabilize your core. Ensure that each lunge is deep and controlled to prevent fatigue and ensure efficiency.
Training Drills: Incorporate weighted lunges and plyometric lunges into your routine. Practice lunges with a barbell to mimic the race conditions and improve muscular endurance.
Compromised Running: After lunging drills, immediately perform a short run to simulate the transition in race conditions and improve recovery speed.
Wall Balls (00:06:16, 00:02 slower than average)
Form Correction: Focus on consistent breathing and accurate targeting. Ensure your squat depth and thrust are consistent to maximize energy efficiency.
Training Exercises: Practice wall ball shots with varying weights to build power. Incorporate thrusters into your workout for improved explosive strength.
Sled Pull (00:04:53, 00:10 slower than average)
Technique Refinement: Ensure a low, stable body position with strong leg drive and an engaged core.
Training Techniques: Practice sled pulls with heavier weights in training to build strength. Include pulling against resistance bands to mimic race conditions and improve power.
Ski Erg (00:04:55, 00:31 slower than average)
Form Adjustments: Work on maintaining a consistent stroke rate and utilizing full body engagement—focus on the power from the legs and core.
Drills: Include interval training on the ski erg machine to improve stamina and efficiency. Practice with varying resistance to build endurance.
Race Strategies
Pacing: Given the strong initial run but subsequent slowdown, consider adopting a more consistent pace from the start to conserve energy for later stages.
Transition Efficiency: Although the Roxzone time was slightly faster than average, further focusing on swift and efficient transitions can shave precious seconds off the overall time. Incorporate transition drills in training focusing on quick recovery and movement efficiency.
Strength-Endurance Balance: While running is a clear strength, a more balanced focus on strength training, particularly in exercises where time was lost, will lead to overall better performance. Incorporate compound movements and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to improve strength endurance.
