Bray Alessio Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Alessio Bray's performance in the 2024 Milan Hyrox race placed him in the top 30% overall and top 29% in his age group, which is commendable. His overall race time was 01:22:11, with a total running time of 00:43:44, which was 02:15 slower than the average, indicating that running might be an area needing improvement. Alessio showed a strong aptitude for exercises that demand strength and power, as demonstrated by his impressive times in the Ski Erg, Sled Push, Rowing, Farmers Carry, and Wall Balls segments. However, his running times and transitions (Roxzone) were consistently slower than average, suggesting a need for focused training in these areas. The initial running segments indicate that Alessio might have started the race conservatively, which may have impacted his overall pace.

Segments to Improve

• Total Running Time: Alessio's running times were consistently slower than average. To improve running performance, consider incorporating interval training sessions focused on both speed and endurance. Fartlek runs, where pace is varied throughout the run, can help build speed and adaptability. Additionally, hill sprints can enhance both power and cardiovascular fitness.
• Roxzone: Transition times were notably slower. To enhance transitions, practice brick workouts that simulate race conditions, focusing on swift transitions between exercises. Improved fitness can also reduce the need for rest during transitions.
• Burpees Broad Jump: This segment was slower than average. Focusing on explosive power through exercises like box jumps and plyometric drills can improve performance in this area. Emphasize proper form to maximize efficiency.
• Sled Pull: Although not drastically slower, slight improvements can be made. Engage in resistance training targeting the upper body and core to enhance pulling strength. Rope pulls and weighted sled drags can be particularly beneficial.
• Sandbag Lunges: Small gains can be achieved here by focusing on leg strength and stability. Incorporate weighted lunges and single-leg exercises to build strength and balance.

Race Strategies

• Pacing: Start the race with a pace that is sustainable yet challenging. Avoid starting too conservatively to ensure that energy levels are optimized throughout the race.
• Transition Efficiency: Practice quick transitions during training to minimize Roxzone time. Set up mock transitions to simulate race day and reduce unnecessary rest.
• Compromised Running: Train running immediately after strength exercises to adapt to the compromised state often experienced during races. This can help maintain pace in running segments post-exercise.
• Hydration and Nutrition: Develop a hydration and nutrition plan that supports energy levels without causing discomfort. Practice this plan during training to ensure compatibility with race conditions.
