Beinart Eldon Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Eldon, you crushed it at the 2024 Stockholm Hyrox event! Finishing with an overall time of 01:26:24 puts you in the top 56% of a competitive field. Your total running time of 00:39:24 is impressive, clocking in at 03:39 faster than average, which clearly highlights your strength as a runner. However, your splits indicate a mix of solid running performance and areas that need some serious work, particularly in strength-based exercises.

Your pacing started off strong in Running 1, where you were 15 seconds faster than average, but it seems like you may have pushed a bit too fast early on, as your subsequent running segments showed some decline in pace. It’s clear that you're more of a runner than a strength athlete, which means we need to fine-tune your strength training to ensure you're ready to tackle those challenging Hyrox stations without losing time.

Segments to Improve:

Now, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of where you can elevate your performance. The segments that stood out as needing the most attention were:

• Burpees Broad Jump (00:07:37) - 02:16 slower than average
• Sandbag Lunges (00:07:21) - 02:13 slower than average
• Farmers Carry (00:02:25) - 00:13 slower than average

These exercises are where you lost valuable time and where improvements can make a significant impact on your overall performance.

1. Burpees Broad Jump:

Burpees are a full-body exercise that require both explosive power and endurance. Your time indicates that either your technique needs refinement or your strength endurance is lacking.

• Drills: Incorporate a mix of burpee variations and broad jumps into your routine. Aim for 3 sets of 10 burpees followed by 5 broad jumps, focusing on explosive movement.
• Technique Correction: Ensure your push-up phase is efficient; don’t waste energy. Use a mat to practice quick transitions and find your rhythm.

2. Sandbag Lunges:

Your performance here suggests a need for both strength and stability in your legs. Lunges are essential, but they require a strong core and proper form to maximize effectiveness.

• Strength Work: Incorporate weighted lunges into your weekly routine. Start with lighter weights and focus on form, then gradually increase the load. Aim for 4 sets of 10 on each leg.
• Core Stability: Add planks and side planks to improve core strength, which will help stabilize you during lunges.

3. Farmers Carry:

This segment is all about grip strength and core stability. Your time indicates you should work on both to carry heavier loads efficiently.

• Drills: Implement farmers carries into your training. Use varying weights and distances; aim for 3 sets of 30 meters, focusing on maintaining form and breathing.
• Grip Strength: Incorporate dead hangs and towel hangs into your routine to boost grip strength, which is crucial for this exercise.

Roxzone Improvement:

Your Roxzone time of 00:07:32 suggests that transitions could be smoother. To enhance this segment, focus on improving your overall fitness and practicing quick transitions between exercises.

• Drills: Set up a circuit that mimics race conditions. Time yourself on completing a round of exercises and transitioning to running. Aim to decrease your transition time with each session.

Race Strategies:

For future races, consider these strategies:

• Pacing: Start strong but controlled. Keep an eye on your heart rate, and don’t let adrenaline push you to go too hard at the start.
• Nutrition & Hydration: Fuel properly before and during the race. A well-timed snack can be your best friend!
• Visualization: Picture yourself powering through each segment, especially the challenging ones. Manifest that success before the race even starts!
