Glasgow Aiden Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Aiden Glasgow delivered a commendable performance at the 2024 Milan HYROX race, finishing with an overall rank of 316 out of 1371 athletes, placing him in the top 23%. Within his age group (16-24), he ranked 23rd out of 91, positioning him in the top 25%. With a total time of 01:19:31, Aiden displayed strong capabilities, particularly in the Ski Erg, Running 3, Running 4, Burpees Broad Jump, and Rowing segments, where he consistently outperformed the average.

Analyzing Aiden's pacing, it appears that he may have started the race too slow, as evidenced by his performances in Running 1 and Running 2. His pace improved significantly in Running 3 and Running 4, indicating a strong mid-race capability but a need for more consistent pacing throughout. His total running time was slightly slower than average, suggesting Aiden has a more balanced or hybrid profile, with a need for improvements in both running and strength components.

Segments to Improve

• Total Running Time: Aiden's total running time was 00:40:30, which is 00:09 slower than average. To enhance his running performance, Aiden should focus on interval training and hill sprints to improve speed and endurance. Incorporating tempo runs and long-distance runs can also build aerobic capacity and stamina.
• Sled Pull: With a time of 05:22, 00:54 slower than average, Aiden needs to enhance his strength and technique in this segment. Training strategies should include resistance training focused on the upper body and core, such as deadlifts, bent-over rows, and pull-ups. Practicing sled drills with varying weights can improve efficiency and strength.
• Wall Balls: Completing this segment in 06:25, 00:35 slower than average, suggests room for improvement in strength endurance and technique. Aiden should incorporate wall ball drills with a focus on maintaining form and breathing. Squats, thrusters, and overhead presses can improve power and endurance.
• Sled Push: At 03:24, 00:39 slower than average, the sled push showed a need for enhanced lower body strength. Aiden should engage in exercises like leg presses, lunges, and squats. Practicing the sled push with different weights can also help improve technique and power.

Race Strategies

• Consistent Pacing: Aiden should focus on maintaining a steady pace throughout the race. Implementing negative splits in training, where the second half of the run is faster than the first, can help in managing energy efficiently.
• Transition Efficiency: Although Aiden's Roxzone time was faster than average, further improvements can be made by practicing quick transitions between exercises. This can be achieved through transition drills that simulate race conditions, reducing rest time and improving focus.
• Compromised Running Drills: Incorporate drills that simulate running immediately after strength exercises to adapt to compromised running scenarios. This will help Aiden become more accustomed to the fatigue experienced during the race.
