Stronach Beale Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Beale Stronach demonstrated a commendable performance in the 2024 Milan Hyrox event, showcasing a strong inclination towards running. His total running time was 4:26 faster than average, indicating a robust running capability and a runner profile. However, the initial segment, Running 1, was 1:00 slower than average, suggesting a slower start which he successfully compensated for in subsequent running segments. His overall rank placed him in the top 60% of all athletes and top 62% in his age group, reflecting a solid performance amidst a competitive field.

Segments to Improve

• Wall Balls (00:01:13 slower than average)
  • Technique Improvement: Focus on proper squat form and maintaining a rhythmic breathing pattern to avoid fatigue. Practice with lighter medicine balls to enhance form before progressing to competition weight.
  • Drills: Integrate wall ball interval training, alternating between high-rep sets and rest periods to build endurance.
  • Specific Exercises: Front squats and overhead presses to build strength and stamina in related muscle groups.
• Burpees Broad Jump (01:23 slower than average)
  • Technique Improvement: Work on explosive power during the jump phase and streamline the transition between movements.
  • Drills: Plyometric exercises such as box jumps and tuck jumps to enhance explosive strength.
  • Specific Exercises: Perform burpee ladders, gradually increasing the number of repetitions to build cardiovascular endurance.
• Roxzone (00:42 slower than average)
  • Transition Improvement: Practice faster transitions between exercise zones to minimize downtime.
  • Drills: Set up mock transitions during training sessions to simulate race conditions.
  • Specific Exercises: Circuit training with limited rest periods to mimic race intensity.
• Sandbag Lunges (00:36 slower than average)
  • Technique Improvement: Ensure proper posture and controlled movements to maximize efficiency.
  • Drills: Incorporate walking lunges with a weighted vest to build leg strength and endurance.
  • Specific Exercises: Bulgarian split squats and step-ups to enhance lower body strength.
• Sled Pull (00:32 slower than average) & Sled Push (00:30 slower than average)
  • Technique Improvement: Focus on maintaining a low center of gravity and using leg drive for propulsion.
  • Drills: Resistance band training to improve pulling and pushing mechanics.
  • Specific Exercises: Include sled drags and pushes in your routine, gradually increasing resistance to build power.

Race Strategies

• Start with a Steady Pace: Aim for a balanced start in the initial running segment to prevent early fatigue. Consider a moderate pace that allows energy conservation for later stages.
• Optimize Transitions: Practice efficient transitions between exercise zones to reduce time spent in the Roxzone.
• Focus on Breathing: Maintain a consistent breathing rhythm during strength exercises to prevent rapid fatigue and enhance endurance.
• Energy Management: Balance effort across segments, especially in strength zones, to avoid compromising running performance.
