Mohrhardt Marvin Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Marvin, let's break down your performance at the 2024 Frankfurt Hyrox. Finishing with an overall time of 01:24:09 puts you in the top 49% of 1477 athletes, which is commendable! However, there's always room for improvement, and that’s where we come in. Your total running time of 00:43:33 is 01:32 slower than the average, indicating that you may have a stronger profile as a strength athlete rather than a pure runner. This is reflected in your split times, where your overall running performance was slightly off the mark compared to the average. Your pacing during the first run was a bit too fast; you finished Running 1 at 00:05:14, which was 00:40 slower than average but still placed you in the 71st percentile. It's essential to get your pacing right from the start, as going out too hard can lead to fatigue in later segments. Remember, “It’s not about how fast you go; it’s about how smart you run.” 🏆

Segments to Improve:

Now, let’s dive into the segments where you can sharpen your edge and turn weaknesses into strengths:

• Total Running Time: As you know, your total running time is 01:32 slower than average. To improve your running efficiency, focus on the following:
• Interval Training: Incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions into your routine. For example, try 800m repeats at a pace slightly faster than your goal race pace, with a 2-3 minute rest in between. This will help boost your speed and endurance.
• Long Runs: Include a weekly long run at a conversational pace to build your endurance. Aim for at least 10-12km, gradually increasing distance as you progress.
• Form Drills: Work on your running form with drills like high knees, butt kicks, and stride outs. Focusing on your form will help increase your efficiency and reduce fatigue.
• Ski Erg: Your time of 00:04:57 was 00:32 slower than average. To improve this segment, try:
• Technique Focus: Ensure your technique is solid. Use your legs and core to drive the movement rather than just your arms. Practice 500m intervals with a focus on form to build strength and endurance on the Ski Erg.
• Strength Training: Incorporate pulling exercises like bent-over rows and lat pulldowns into your strength training routine to build the muscles required for efficient skiing.
• Wall Balls: At 00:06:14, you were 00:04 faster than average. However, there’s always room for improvement. Consider the following:
• Technique Refinement: Focus on your squat depth and explosive power from the bottom to ensure you're using your legs effectively. Use a heavier ball during training to build strength.
• Volume Training: Incorporate more wall ball sets into your training. Try 3 sets of 20 reps, focusing on maintaining a consistent pace and form throughout.

Race Strategies:

During the race, proper strategies can make all the difference:

• Pacing: Start conservatively in the first running segment. Aim for a pace that feels sustainable and allows you to keep your heart rate steady. Avoid the "start too fast, crash and burn" trap. Remember, you’re not running a sprint, you’re running a marathon in disguise.
• Transitions: Your Roxzone time of 00:06:41 was 00:02 slower than average. Use this time wisely! Practice quick transitions between exercises in your training to minimize downtime. Set a goal of 30 seconds or less for transitions.
• Nutrition and Hydration: Make sure to fuel properly before and during the race. Consider energy gels or chews during the race to maintain your energy levels. Hydrate well in the days leading up to the event.
