Szuppa Nadine Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Nadine, first off, let me just say that you put in an incredible performance at the 2024 Frankfurt Hyrox event! Finishing in the top 74% overall and the top 63% in your age group is no small feat. Your overall time of 01:39:13 is solid, and your total running time of 48:02 shows that you have a runner's profile, coming in faster than average. This tells me that you can definitely handle the running segments. However, the pacing in your first running segment (00:04:50) was a bit too aggressive; you came in 00:40 faster than average, which may have cost you energy later in the race. It’s like starting a marathon with a sprint and wondering why your legs feel like jelly halfway through! 🏃‍♀️💥

You have a great foundation, but there’s room for improvement in the strength segments. Let’s break down the areas where we can turn those weaknesses into strengths and make you an unstoppable force in the next competition!

Segments to Improve:

Here’s where you can amp up your game:

• Wall Balls (00:07:44): This segment was a significant time sink for you, almost 02:05 slower than average. To improve, focus on technique and conditioning. Aim for a high squat and explosive upward motion. Incorporate drills like:
• Weighted Squats - Build strength in your legs.
• Wall Ball Drills - Practice sets of 10-15, focusing on form.
• Plyometric Training - Box jumps can help increase explosiveness.
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:07:43): This was another slower segment, about 00:33 off the average. To enhance speed and explosiveness, try these drills:
• Burpee Variations - Incorporate speed burpees to improve your transition.
• Broad Jump Drills - Focus on distance and landing technique.
• Plyometric Push-Ups - These will help with explosive power for the burpee phase.
• Sled Push (00:03:23): Coming in 00:24 slower than average indicates a need for strength training. Here’s what you can do:
• Heavy Sled Pushes - Work on pushing heavier loads to build strength.
• Leg Press - This will target your quads and glutes, essential for pushing strength.
• Interval Training - Incorporate short, intense sled pushes with recovery to boost endurance.
• Sandbag Lunges (00:05:42): You were 00:16 slower here – improve your lunging form and strength. Try:
• Weighted Lunges - Use a sandbag or dumbbells to increase resistance.
• Single-Leg Balance Exercises - This will improve stability and strength.
• Plyometric Lunges - Add explosive movements to build speed.

Race Strategies:

Now, let’s talk race day strategies:

• Pacing: Start the first running segment a bit slower. Aim for a pace that feels comfortable and sustainable—you’re not racing the clock alone, you’re racing against yourself! Save that explosive energy for the later stages.
• Transition Efficiency: Your roxzone time (00:08:11) was a bit slower than average, indicating room for improvement in transitions. Practice quick changes between exercises; think of it like a pit crew for a race car—fast and efficient!
• Stay Hydrated: Don’t forget to hydrate properly before and during the race. Your muscles will thank you when you’re pushing that sled!

Conclusion:

Nadine, you have all the potential to crush your next Hyrox competition! Remember, “The only thing standing between you and your goal is the story you keep telling yourself.” (Jocko Willink). Each segment you improve will only make you stronger. Keep pushing your limits, embrace the grind, and remember to have fun with it! 💪
