Senatore Stefano Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Stefano Senatore participated in the 2024 Milan Hyrox event in the 45-49 age group category, finishing with an overall rank of 1335 out of 1371 athletes. His overall time was 02:10:13, placing him in the top 97% of the competitors, while he ranked 126th in his age group, placing him in the top 96% of the athletes in his category.

Stefano's total running time was 01:11:51, which was 07:44 slower than the average, indicating that running is an area that requires improvement. This suggests a strength profile that leans more towards strength and hybrid activities rather than pure running. His best running lap was 00:06:17, showing that he has the capability for faster splits when properly paced.

The analysis of the first few running segments reveals that Stefano started slightly slower than average, with the exception of Running 2 and Running 3, which were faster than average. This indicates a pacing issue where Stefano may have started too conservatively, especially in the first running segment.

Segments to Improve

• Total Running Time: Stefano's total running time was significantly slower than average. He should focus on improving his aerobic base and running efficiency. Specific training strategies include:
  • Interval Training: Incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to improve speed and endurance. Aim for sessions like 4x800m at a pace faster than race pace with 2-minute rest intervals.
  • Tempo Runs: Perform weekly tempo runs of 20-30 minutes at a comfortably hard pace to enhance lactate threshold.
• Roxzone: Stefano's Roxzone time was slower than average, indicating room for improvement in transitions. Training strategies include:
  • Transition Drills: Practice quick transitions between exercises in training. Set up a circuit mimicking race conditions and focus on minimizing downtime between each station.
  • Functional Circuit Training: Include exercises like kettlebell swings, box jumps, and agility ladder drills to improve overall fitness and transition speed.
• Sled Pull: Despite being faster than average, further improvement can turn this into a strength. Training strategies include:
  • Resistance Training: Focus on lower body and core strength through exercises like deadlifts, sled drags, and core stability exercises.
  • Specific Sled Training: Incorporate sled pulls into weekly routines with varied weights to simulate race conditions.
• Sandbag Lunges: Stefano performed moderately well but can improve further:
  • Leg Strengthening: Incorporate weighted lunges, squats, and Bulgarian split squats to build leg strength.
  • Balance and Coordination: Add exercises like single-leg deadlifts and stability ball exercises to improve balance.

Race Strategies

• Pacing Strategy: Start the race at a slightly faster pace to leverage the initial energy reserves, but avoid going all-out in the first segment to prevent early fatigue.
• Efficient Transitions: Practice race scenarios in training to ensure smooth and quick transitions, reducing time spent in the Roxzone.
• Mindful Recovery: Utilize active recovery techniques between high-intensity segments to maintain performance levels throughout the race.
• Nutrition and Hydration: Develop a nutrition and hydration plan to fuel the body adequately before and during the race for sustained energy levels.
