Overall Performance

Rob Glew performed commendably in the 2024 Perth HYROX race, finishing in the top 52% overall and top 37% within his age category. His total running time was 1:36 faster than average, indicating strong running capabilities. Rob's best running lap was an impressive 5:11. His initial pacing was slightly off, starting slower in the first running segment but picking up pace in subsequent runs. Overall, Rob exhibits a hybrid profile with a slight edge in running over strength, as evidenced by his faster-than-average running times and some slower strength-based segments.

Segments to Improve

• Wall Balls: Rob was 1:10 slower than average. Improving strength endurance and technique can significantly enhance this segment.
  • Drills: Incorporate wall ball practice with a focus on maintaining a consistent pace. Perform sets of wall balls with a target time to improve speed.
  • Exercises: Add exercises like squats, overhead presses, and thrusters to build leg and shoulder strength.
  • Form Corrections: Focus on using the legs to power the throw rather than relying solely on the shoulders.
• Roxzone: Rob's time was 1:08 slower than average. Enhancing overall fitness and transition efficiency is crucial.
  • Drills: Practice quick transitions between different exercises to minimize rest time.
  • Exercises: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) can help improve cardiovascular fitness, reducing the need for extended rest.
• Sandbag Lunges: Rob was significantly slower by 1:18. Focus on lower body strength and lunge technique.
  • Drills: Implement weighted lunges with a focus on maintaining speed and form under fatigue.
  • Exercises: Squats, deadlifts, and lunges will build leg strength. Consider using a weighted vest for additional resistance.
  • Form Corrections: Maintain an upright posture and ensure the front knee does not extend past the toes during lunges.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Rob was 8 seconds slower than average. Enhancing explosive power and technique will aid performance.
  • Drills: Practice burpees with a focus on explosive jumps and minimizing transition time between movements.
  • Exercises: Box jumps and plyometric drills to improve explosive power.
  • Form Corrections: Focus on a smooth transition from the floor to the jump, ensuring full hip extension.

Race Strategies

• Pacing: Start the race with a slightly faster pace to align better with average times, especially in early running segments to avoid falling behind.
• Transition Efficiency: Work on reducing time spent in the Roxzone by practicing quick transitions. This will help maintain momentum and reduce overall race time.
• Compromised Running: Implement training sessions that simulate running immediately after strength exercises to adapt to running under fatigue.
• Mental Focus: Develop a strong mental strategy to push through slower segments and maintain a competitive edge throughout the race.
