Overall Performance:
Steven Mesham's performance in the 2024 Birmingham Hyrox race places him in the top 60% of overall athletes and the top 58% in his age group (50-54), which is commendable. He demonstrated a strong propensity towards running, with a total running time of 00:43:20, which is 10:02 faster than the average. His best running lap was 00:04:45. This indicates a runner profile, suggesting that his overall fitness and transition time are areas he could look to improve as he moves forward.
When looking at his pacing, Steven seems to have started the race slightly slower than the average but picked up the pace significantly in the later running segments. While this could be seen as a strategy to preserve energy for the later stages, it might be beneficial to consider maintaining a more consistent pace throughout the race.
Segments to Improve:
Burpees Broad Jump: This was Steven's weakest segment, taking 05:30 longer than the average. To improve this, he could incorporate more Plyometric exercises into his training regimen, such as box jumps and jump squats. Focusing on form and coordination during these exercises will be key.
Wall Balls: Steven was 04:25 slower than the average in this segment. He can improve his performance by incorporating more functional strength training, particularly focusing on his lower body and core. Squat and press exercises, kettlebell swings, and medicine ball throws would be beneficial.
Sandbag Lunges: Steven was 01:36 slower than the average. To improve this, he could add more weighted lunge variations to his routine, focusing on maintaining correct form and balance. Training with resistance bands can also help improve stability and strength in this area.
Roxzone: Steven was slightly faster than the average in this segment but still has room for improvement. To help with this, he could work on improving his overall fitness and transition times through high intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions.
Race Strategies:
Steven could consider the following strategies for his future races:
Maintain a consistent pace: Rather than starting slower and increasing speed later on, maintaining a steady pace will help conserve energy and prevent burnout.
Focus on transitions: As the roxzone time could be improved, focusing on smoother and quicker transitions between exercises could help shave off valuable seconds.
Strength training: Given his strong running profile, adding more strength training into his routine will help improve overall performance and balance out his skill set.
