Amieva Camila Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Camila, first off, congratulations on completing the 2024 Milan Hyrox! Finishing in the top 75% overall and top 79% in your age group is no small feat. You’ve demonstrated impressive endurance, particularly in your running, with a total running time of 51:17, which is notably 2:12 faster than average. This puts you in the runner profile category, which is fantastic! However, it looks like your pacing strategy could use some tweaking. Your first running segment was quite a bit slower than average (7:19), which might have set the tone for the rest of the race. A strong start can help build momentum, so focusing on pacing during the first segment will be key moving forward. Overall, your performance shows a solid foundation, but let’s unlock your full potential by addressing some specific areas for improvement.

Segments to Improve:

• Burpees Broad Jump (9:15): This was your slowest segment, and it’s clear this is an area ripe for growth. Focus on efficiency in your movement. Practice form drills to ensure you’re maximizing your power output. You can do:
  • Burpee technique drills: Break them down into parts (jump, push-up, jump back) to improve speed and fluidity.
  • Broad jump exercises: Work on explosiveness with box jumps or broad jumps off a low surface.
  • Interval training: Incorporate sets of burpees into high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions, aiming for speed and form.
• Sandbag Lunges (6:22): A 30-second slower performance indicates you may need to build strength and endurance in your lower body. To improve:
  • Weighted step-ups: Mimic the motion of the lunge, focusing on depth and power.
  • Walking lunges with a sandbag: Incorporate this into your routine to simulate race conditions.
  • Core stability work: A strong core helps maintain form under fatigue, so include planks and side planks in your training.
• Ski Erg (5:51): A 24-second deficit here suggests some technique adjustments could make a big difference. Try:
  • Technique sessions: Focus on explosive pulls and proper body mechanics. Consider using resistance bands to improve pull strength.
  • Interval training on the ski erg: Short bursts of intensity followed by recovery to build cardiovascular endurance and muscle memory.
  • Incorporate upper body strength training: Exercises like pull-ups and bent-over rows will translate well to ski erg performance.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing: Start your race with a slightly faster pace in the first running segment to build momentum. Remember, you can always adjust your pace as you feel throughout the race.
• Transitions: Your Roxzone time was notably slower than average at 11:01. Focus on improving your transition speed by rehearsing the flow between exercises in training, so they become second nature.
• Breathing Techniques: Develop efficient breathing patterns, especially during high-intensity segments. This can help sustain your energy levels throughout the race.
• Nutrition: Ensure your pre-race nutrition is dialed in. Experiment with what works for you during training—trial and error can lead to race-day success!

Conclusion:
