Improvement Plan

Based on our analysis, here are the focus areas for improvement. The goal is to determine how quickly the athlete could improve on some stations and where is the path of least resistance to improve his time.

The percentile rank is the current position of the athlete compared to the competition. It goes from 0 to 100, where 0 is the best and 100 is the worst. It show the potential improvement for each station. The athlete should focus on the stations with the highest potential improvement and the biggest duration.

A big improvement in the Farmer's carry station will not be as impactful as a small improvement in the wall ball station for instance. Just click on a station to see how easy it will be to improve and how important it is to focus on it during training.

For this athlete we identified a possible improvement of 03:59. Check the detail of the improvement plan below.

A word from RoxCoach - Your AI Powered Trainer

Overall Performance:

Nicolas Despaux showcased a commendable performance in the 2024 Bordeaux HYROX event, securing a top 7% overall rank among 252 athletes and a top 11% rank in his age group (25-29). His overall time was 01:11:53, demonstrating a balanced proficiency in both strength and endurance components. Notably, Nicolas exhibited remarkable strength in the Sled Push, Sled Pull, Sandbag Lunges, and Wall Balls segments, where his times significantly surpassed the average. However, his total running time was 00:40 slower than average, suggesting room for improvement in his running efficiency. The analysis indicates Nicolas has a more strength-oriented profile, with running segments providing opportunities for enhancement to achieve a more hybrid athlete status. His pacing seemed to start slower in the initial running segment but improved in subsequent runs, particularly in the last running segment where he was 00:22 faster than average.

Segments to Improve:

  • Roxzone (00:05:58, 01:27 slower than average): This reflects extended transition times or unnecessary rest between exercises. To improve, Nicolas should focus on enhancing overall fitness and reducing transition times. Drills like high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with short recovery periods can simulate the quick transitions between exercises. Practicing specific transitions between strength and running segments in training will also help reduce Roxzone time.
  • Total Running Time (00:36:10, 00:40 slower than average): To address the slower running time, Nicolas should incorporate interval running sessions focused on improving speed and endurance. Tempo runs and fartlek workouts will help increase aerobic capacity, while hill sprints can build strength and power in the legs. Additionally, focusing on running form through drills like high knees, butt kicks, and strides can improve efficiency.
  • Burpees Broad Jump (00:03:57, 00:32 slower than average): This segment suggests a need for improvement in explosive power and coordination. Plyometric exercises such as box jumps, jump squats, and lunges can enhance explosive strength, while practicing the specific movement of burpee broad jumps will improve technique and efficiency under fatigue.

Considering the compromised running scenarios post specific exercises, it’s essential for Nicolas to integrate combination workouts in his training regimen. These workouts should include strength exercises followed by running intervals to adapt to running under fatigue conditions, which is critical for HYROX races.

Race Strategies:

  • Pacing: Given the initial slower running segments, Nicolas should work on establishing a more consistent pace from the start. By not going out too fast but ensuring he is not significantly slower than his average pace, he can maintain a steadier energy output throughout the race.
  • Transitions: Focusing on swift and efficient transitions between exercises can significantly reduce Roxzone time. Practicing these transitions during training sessions will make them more natural during the race.
  • Mid-Race Assessments: Nicolas should practice assessing his energy levels and performance mid-race to make real-time adjustments. If he finds himself ahead of pace and feeling strong, he can push harder in strength segments to capitalize on his strengths. Conversely, if running is feeling more laborious, focusing on maintaining a steady pace without overexerting will be crucial to avoid burnout.

By addressing these targeted areas of improvement and implementing strategic race-day tactics, Nicolas has the potential to significantly enhance his performance in future HYROX events. A focus on balanced training that improves running efficiency while maintaining his strength advantage will be key to achieving a more well-rounded athletic profile.
