Arzate Díaz José Sebastian Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

José Sebastian Arzate Díaz, in the HYROX Ciudad de Mexico event, delivered a noteworthy performance overall, finishing in the top 17% of both the total 905 athletes and his age group of 200 athletes. His total race time was 01:24:40. However, his total running time of 00:45:19 was slower than the average by 02:51. This indicates that despite his commendable overall performance, there is room for improvement in his running. His best running lap was 00:04:57. It is seen that José showed a strength-oriented profile rather than a runner profile.

His pace in the early stages of the race (running 1 to running 4) was slower than average, which indicates a potential area of focus in future training.

Segments to Improve

• Running: Being 02:51 slower than the average total running time, this is an area that José needs to train more. Specific running drills focusing on speed and endurance, such as interval runs, tempo runs, and long-distance runs, could be beneficial. Further, incorporating hill runs or stair climbing can improve strength and stamina.
• Roxzone: Although José's roxzone time was 00:04 faster than average, there is room for improvement. To enhance his transition time and overall fitness, José should practice circuit training, which mimics the shift between different exercise types in the roxzone. This can include combinations of strength training, cardio exercises, and flexibility workouts.
• Rowing: José's rowing time was 00:18 slower than average. To improve this, he can focus on enhancing his rowing technique and strength. Interval training on the rowing machine and strength training focusing on back and arm muscles can be beneficial.
• Wall Balls: Despite being 00:25 faster than average in the wall balls segment, there is room for improvement. Training should focus on enhancing lower body strength and coordination. Squats, lunges, and other plyometric exercises can be beneficial here.
• Sled Pull: José performed better than average in the sled pull segment, but there is potential for improvement. Incorporating powerlifting exercises in his workouts can help enhance his strength and improve his performance in this segment.

Race Strategies

To improve future race performance, José should consider the following strategies:

• Pacing: José should focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race. Starting too slow can affect his overall time. He should aim for a steady pace in the early stages, conserving energy for the later parts of the race.
• Transitions: Quick and efficient transitions between exercises can significantly improve overall time. Practicing transitions during training can help José reduce his roxzone time.
• Strength Training: As the data suggests that José has a strength-oriented profile, he should leverage this strength in the race. This means strategically pacing himself during the running segments to allow for maximum performance in the strength-based exercises.
