Loh Kenny Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Kenny Loh delivered a commendable performance at the 2024 Singapore Hyrox race, ranking 142nd overall and 19th in his age group. His overall time of 01:23:51 places him in the top 12% of athletes, showcasing his competitive edge. However, his total running time was 1:45 slower than average, suggesting room for improvement in his running performance. Kenny's pacing indicates a relatively consistent start, with his initial running segments close to average, but he slowed significantly in later segments, pointing to potential fatigue management issues. His strengths lie in strength-based exercises, particularly the Burpees Broad Jump and Sandbag Lunges, where he performed exceptionally well, indicating a strong hybrid profile.

Segments to Improve

• Total Running Time: Kenny's total running time was slower than average, indicating the need for focused running training. Training Strategies:
  • Interval Training: Incorporate interval sessions with varying speeds to enhance aerobic capacity and speed endurance. E.g., 400m repeats at slightly faster than race pace with short recovery periods.
  • Tempo Runs: Perform tempo runs at a comfortably hard pace to improve lactate threshold and running economy.
• Wall Balls: A slight slowdown was noted here, highlighting room for improvement. Training Strategies:
  • Wall Ball Technique Drills: Focus on maintaining a consistent rhythm and using the legs more effectively to reduce arm fatigue.
  • Strength Training: Incorporate squats and core exercises to build endurance and strength for better wall ball performance.
• Roxzone: Slightly slower transitions indicate a need for more efficient movement between events. Training Strategies:
  • Transition Drills: Practice transitioning quickly between exercises to reduce downtime. Include drills that mimic race conditions.
  • Functional Fitness: Engage in high-intensity circuit training to improve overall fitness and reduce transition fatigue.
• Ski Erg: Time here was significantly slower, suggesting the need for specific training. Training Strategies:
  • Technique Work: Focus on the efficiency of stroke mechanics to maximize power output while minimizing energy expenditure.
  • Strength and Conditioning: Implement upper body and core strengthening exercises to enhance power and endurance on the Ski Erg.

Race Strategies

• Pacing Strategy: Develop a pacing plan that conserves energy in the initial stages of the race to avoid excessive fatigue in later segments.
• Segment Focus: Prioritize maintaining a steady pace during running segments and utilize strength in hybrid exercises to gain time.
• Recovery and Nutrition: Ensure adequate recovery between training sessions and optimize race day nutrition to maintain energy levels.
• Visualization and Mental Preparation: Use visualization techniques to mentally prepare for each segment, focusing on maintaining form and pacing.
