Haug Ole Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Ole, you put in a commendable effort in the 2024 Stockholm Hyrox, finishing with a time of 01:21:13. That's a solid result, placing you in the top 42% overall and 33% within your age group. The numbers show you're a strong runner—your total running time of 00:38:33 is 2:09 faster than the average, indicating a runner profile. However, your performance in strength segments, particularly Burpees Broad Jump, Sled Push, and Farmers Carry, suggests there's room for improvement in that area.

Your pacing in the early running segments started strong with a 00:04:22 on Running 1, which was slightly faster than average. However, as the race progressed, your running times fluctuated a bit, especially towards the end of the race with Running 5 and Running 8 being slower than your initial pace. This indicates that you might have pushed too hard at the beginning, leading to a slight dip in performance later on. A well-balanced approach to pacing is crucial in Hyrox, where every second counts!

Overall, you’ve got the makings of a fierce competitor, but let’s sharpen those strength skills to complement that killer running game. Remember, "It’s not about being the best. It’s about being better than you were yesterday." - David Goggins 💪

Segments to Improve:

Now, let’s dive into the segments that could use a bit more love and attention:

• Burpees Broad Jump: This segment was your slowest, clocking in at 00:06:38—a full 1:42 slower than average. To improve this, focus on explosive power and endurance. Try incorporating the following:
• Burpee Box Jumps: Add a box to your burpees to elevate the jump aspect. Start with a lower box and increase height as you get comfortable.
• Plyometric Drills: Exercises like squat jumps and tuck jumps will improve your explosiveness.
• Interval Training: Set a timer for 20 seconds of burpees followed by 10 seconds of rest. Repeat for 10 rounds to build endurance and speed.
• Sled Push: Your time of 00:02:54 was 9 seconds slower than average. Focus on building lower body strength and pushing technique.
• Sled Push Drills: Practice pushing the sled with varying weights. Start with light weights to focus on form and gradually increase.
• Leg Strength Workouts: Incorporate exercises like squats, deadlifts, and lunges into your routine to build strength in your legs.
• Pushing Technique: Work on your pushing stance—keep your hips low, and drive through your legs to maximize power.
• Farmers Carry: At 00:02:15, you were 10 seconds slower than average. This is all about grip strength and core stability.
• Farmers Carry Practice: Increase the distance you carry weights over time, varying the weight to challenge grip strength.
• Dead Hangs: Hang from a pull-up bar to build grip strength.
• Core Workouts: Planks and side planks will help stabilize your core, which is crucial for carrying heavy loads.

Race Strategies:

Now, let’s talk strategy for your next race:

• Pacing: Start strong but not all-out. Aim for a pace that allows you to maintain energy for the latter part of the race. Consider the negative split approach—start slightly slower and gradually increase your speed.
• Transition Time: Your Roxzone was 00:07:19, which is slower than average. Work on improving your transition times by practicing quick changes between exercises during your training. Lay your equipment out strategically to minimize downtime.
• Breathing Techniques: Focus on controlled breathing during high-intensity segments. This will help you stay calm and maintain performance.

Conclusion:

Ole, you’ve got a solid foundation to build on. Embrace the grind and remember that every rep, every run, and every second counts in Hyrox. You’re not just racing against others; you’re racing against yourself. Push your limits, and don’t shy away from improving those strength segments. "You are not the average. You are above average." Keep that in mind as you train! 💥🏆
