King Andrew Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Andrew King performed remarkably well in the 2024 Chicago Navy Pier event. His overall rank in the top 56% of all athletes and his age group is commendable. However, there is room for improvement, particularly in his running segments, which on average were slower than the mean. His total running time was 01:18:57, which is 12:33 slower than the average. This suggests that Andrew has a more strength-focused profile, as reflected in his exceptional performance in strength-related tasks such as the Sled Pull and the Sandbag Lunges where he ranked in the top 3 percentile. His pacing appeared to be off, with a faster than average start in Running 1, which may have led to slower times in subsequent running segments. To enhance his overall performance, Andrew needs to focus on improving his running times and pacing strategy.

Segments to Improve

• Running: The biggest area of improvement for Andrew appears to be his running. His total running time was significantly slower than the average, and his pacing suggests he might be starting too fast. To improve his running times, Andrew could consider incorporating interval training into his routine. This could involve running at a high intensity for short periods, followed by periods of rest or lower-intensity running. Additionally, focusing on his running form, such as maintaining a straight posture and efficient arm swings, can also help improve his running efficiency and speed.
• Roxzone: Andrew's Roxzone time is slower than average, suggesting he may be taking longer rests or transitions between exercises. To improve this, it would be beneficial for Andrew to work on his transition times between exercises. This could involve practising moving quickly from one exercise to the next during training. Additionally, improving his overall fitness could help reduce the need for longer rests.
• Sled Push: Although Andrew's Sled Push time was faster than average, there is still room for improvement. Incorporating exercises that focus on lower body strength, such as squats and lunges, into his training routine could help improve his Sled Push time. Additionally, practising the Sled Push during training could also help improve his technique and performance.
• Wall Balls: Andrew's Wall Balls time was faster than average, but there is still room for improvement. To improve his Wall Balls performance, Andrew could consider incorporating exercises that focus on upper body and core strength, such as push-ups and plank variations, into his training routine. Practising Wall Balls during training could also help improve his technique and performance.

Race Strategies

Andrew should consider implementing the following strategies during races:

• Pacing: Starting off too fast can lead to a decline in performance in later stages of the race. Andrew should aim to start at a steady pace and maintain that throughout the race.
• Transitions: Quick transitions between exercises can help save time. Andrew should practice transitioning between exercises during training to improve his speed during races.
• Rest Periods: While rest periods are important, taking longer rests can impact overall race time. Andrew should aim to reduce his rest times where possible.
