Jijón Josué Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Josué Jijón showed a commendable performance in the 2024 Ciudad de Mexico Hyrox event, finishing in the top 68% of all athletes and in the top 64% of his age group. However, there are areas where he could improve to enhance his overall ranking and performance.

His total running time was slightly slower than average, indicating that this is an area that needs attention. Despite this, he performed well in the initial running segments, but lost momentum in the later stages which could suggest a pacing issue. He seems to have started the race too fast, using up his energy reserves earlier in the race, which could have affected his performance in the latter stages.

Josué's performance in strength-based exercises was mixed, excelling in some areas and struggling in others. He performed exceptionally well in the Ski Erg and Rowing, finishing faster than average, but struggled with the Wall Balls and Farmers Carry. This suggests that while his overall strength is good, there are specific areas that need improvement.

Segments to Improve

• Run Total: Josué's total running time was slower than average. To improve his running stamina and speed, he should incorporate interval training into his routine. This could include short bursts of high-intensity running followed by a slow jog or walk to recover. He could also consider including hill runs to build strength and endurance.
• Wall Balls: Josué struggled with the wall balls, finishing slower than average. To improve in this area, he should focus on exercises that strengthen the legs and core. Squats, lunges, and kettlebell swings could be beneficial. He should also work on his form to ensure he is executing the movement correctly.
• Farmers Carry: This was another weak area for Josué. To improve his performance, he should focus on building his grip strength and overall endurance. Exercises such as deadlifts, pull-ups, and wrist curls could be beneficial. He should also practice the farmers carry with different weights to improve his technique and endurance.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Josué's performance in this segment was average, but there is room for improvement. He should focus on exercises that improve his explosive strength, such as box jumps, burpees, and plyometric push-ups. He should also work on his technique to ensure he is performing the movement efficiently.

Race Strategies

Josué should consider implementing the following strategies in future races:

• Focus on pacing, starting at a comfortable pace and gradually increasing the intensity to conserve energy for the latter stages of the race.
• During strength-based exercises, focus on form and efficiency to conserve energy and prevent injury.
• Incorporate active recovery during the transition periods to help maintain stamina and performance throughout the race.
• Practice the specific exercises that he struggles with in training to improve his performance in these areas during the race.
