He demonstrated particular strengths in the Ski Erg, Sled Push, Sled Pull, and Sandbag Lunges segments, where he outperformed the average times. His overall time of 01:23:09 was solid, but there are areas where he can make improvements to enhance his performance.
Pacing and Profile:
Feigel's overall pacing was consistent throughout the race, with no significant fluctuations in his splits. However, it is worth noting that his total running time was 02:43 slower than the average, indicating that he may benefit from focusing on improving his running performance. While he performed well in the running segments individually, his total running time suggests that he could benefit from additional running-specific training.
Segments to Improve
1. Run Total: Feigel lost significant time in the total running time segment. To improve this area, he should focus on improving his overall fitness and running endurance. Incorporating interval training, hill sprints, and long-distance runs into his training routine will help improve his running performance.
2. Burpees Broad Jump: Feigel lost 01:00 to the average time in this segment. To improve, he should work on increasing his explosive power and agility. Exercises such as box jumps, squat jumps, and lateral bounds will help him develop the necessary strength and coordination for this segment.
3. Running 5 and Running 8: These segments showed a consistent slower pace compared to the average. To improve his running performance, Feigel should incorporate more endurance training and tempo runs into his routine. Focusing on increasing his speed and stamina will help him maintain a faster pace throughout all running segments.
4. Running 6 and Running 7: Feigel lost time in these segments compared to the average. To improve, he should focus on his running form and efficiency. Incorporating drills such as high knees, butt kicks, and strides into his warm-up routine will help improve his running mechanics and overall speed.
5. Wall Balls: Feigel lost 00:28 to the average time in this segment. To improve, he should work on increasing his upper body and core strength. Exercises such as medicine ball throws, overhead presses, and planks will help him develop the necessary strength and stability for this segment.
Strategies
During the race, Feigel should focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout all segments, paying particular attention to his running performance. He should avoid starting too fast and pacing himself to ensure he has enough energy for the later segments. Implementing a strategy of controlled effort and maintaining proper form will help him perform at his best throughout the race.
In conclusion, Johannes Feigel had a strong performance in the 2018 Hamburg Hyrox race, finishing in the top 10% of all athletes and the top 12% of his age group. While he demonstrated strengths in certain segments, there are areas where he can make improvements to enhance his overall performance. By focusing on improving his running endurance, explosive power, and running form, Feigel can continue to excel in future races.
