Becker Matthias Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Matthias, you rocked the 2024 Frankfurt Hyrox! Finishing 1319th overall puts you in the top 89% of 1477 athletes, which is commendable. In your age group, you landed at 252nd, keeping you in the top 90% of 279 competitors. Your overall time of 01:46:11 shows you're in the game. However, your total running time of 00:52:55 was 01:15 slower than average, suggesting you may not be leveraging your running potential as much as you could. Your best running lap was solid at 00:05:53, indicating you have speed in you when the adrenaline kicks in. Looking at your pacing, you started strong with the first run, but it seems you may have settled into a rhythm that was a bit too comfortable in the later segments. This hints at a hybrid profile, but with a slight inclination toward strength. It’s like you were lifting weights instead of running—well, you did nail that sled push! 💪 Let's dive deeper into where you can unleash even more of your potential.

Segments to Improve:

Your performance has some segments that could use a little polish, particularly the Wall Balls, Burpees Broad Jump, Sandbag Lunges, and your overall running time. Here's a breakdown and some actionable strategies:

• Wall Balls (00:10:01, 01:12 slower than average):
  • Drills: Incorporate high-rep wall ball workouts into your routine. Aim for 3 sets of 15-20 reps with a focus on explosive power. Work on your squat form to ensure you’re generating maximal force from the ground up.
  • Technique Correction: Ensure your squat depth is adequate and your throw is executed with your entire body, not just your arms. Think about driving through your heels and using your core to assist the throw.
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:08:13, 01:02 slower than average):
  • Drills: Integrate burpee broad jumps into your training—aim for 5 sets of 10 reps, focusing on speed and efficiency.
  • Form Correction: Break down the burpee into components. Focus on maintaining a strong plank position and explosively jumping forward, landing softly to reduce fatigue and improve recovery time.
• Sandbag Lunges (00:07:02, 00:22 slower than average):
  • Drills: Implement weighted lunge variations—forward, reverse, and walking lunges with a sandbag for added resistance. Aim for 4 sets of 10-12 reps per leg.
  • Form Correction: Ensure your knee does not extend past your toes and maintain an upright torso to engage your core better.
• Overall Running Time (00:52:55, 01:15 slower than average):
  • Drills: Include interval training—short bursts of speed followed by recovery periods. For example, 5x400m sprints with 1 minute of rest in between.
  • Technique Correction: Focus on your breathing and running form. Keep your posture upright, engage your core, and try to maintain a steady cadence. Consider running drills to improve your stride efficiency.

Race Strategies:

Going into your next race, consider these strategies:

• Pacing: Start strong but not reckless. You’ve shown you can push early, but try to find a balance that allows you to maintain speed throughout the race. Practice pacing yourself on your long runs.
• Transitions: Your Roxzone time of 00:07:30 was 01:53 faster than average, which is great! But keep working on those transitions to make them even smoother. Practice moving quickly from one exercise to the next, and rehearse your equipment setup.
• Mindset: Channel that Goggins mentality—don’t just show up; show up and show out! When fatigue hits, remind yourself why you started and visualize crossing that finish line with a personal best.

Conclusion:

Matthias, you’ve got a lot of potential to shave off time in your next Hyrox. Remember, the mind is a powerful tool. As Goggins says, “You are not done when you’re tired; you’re done when you hate it.” So, embrace the grind and push through the discomfort. After all, nobody ever drowned in sweat! 💥 Keep working hard, stay focused on your weaknesses, and soon, you’ll turn them into strengths. I believe in you, and I can't wait to see you crush your next race! Keep that spirit high, and let’s get after it! 🏆

Sincerely, The Rox-Coach
