Overall Performance:
Tamara Van Rooijen displayed a commendable performance in the 2024 Rotterdam HYROX, ranking in the top 14% of all athletes and top 16% in her age group. Her overall time was 01:33:49, with a total running time of 00:51:00, indicating she is slightly slower than average in running but compensates with her strength in other areas. Tamara's best segments were the Sled Push, Sled Pull, Burpees Broad Jump, and Wall Balls, where she significantly outperformed the average. This suggests she has a strong strength profile but could benefit from enhanced running and endurance training. The Roxzone time shows she is efficient in transitions, suggesting good overall fitness but with room for improvement in pacing and endurance.
Segments to Improve:
Run Total & Sandbag Lunges: Tamara's running and Sandbag Lunges segments show the most significant room for improvement. For running, focusing on interval training can be beneficial. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) can improve both speed and endurance. Specific drills include 400m repeats at a fast pace with equal rest, and tempo runs of 20-30 minutes at a challenging but sustainable pace. For Sandbag Lunges, strength and stability work are key. Exercises like weighted squats, lunges, and deadlifts will build the necessary lower body strength. Additionally, incorporating balance training and plyometrics can improve stability and power during lunges.
Ski Erg & Rowing: To improve in these areas, Tamara should focus on technique and endurance. For the Ski Erg, practicing proper form—hinging at the hips, using the core, and pushing with the legs—will enhance efficiency. Interval workouts on the Ski Erg, alternating between high intensity and active recovery, will build specific endurance. For Rowing, drills that focus on the catch, drive, and recovery phases can improve technique. Long, steady rows (20-30 minutes) at a moderate pace will build endurance, while shorter, high-intensity intervals will increase power and stamina.
Race Strategies:
Start Conservatively: Analysis of Tamara's splits from the first four runs suggests starting too fast might be impacting her overall performance. Adopting a more conservative start will conserve energy for stronger finishes and maintain a steadier pace throughout the race.
Transitions and Recovery: Although Tamara showed efficiency in transitions (Roxzone), focusing on quick, smooth transitions between exercises can shave off valuable seconds. Practicing transitions in training, including the setup and takedown of equipment, can improve this aspect. Active recovery techniques, such as deep breathing and dynamic stretching between segments, can help maintain performance levels throughout the race.
Strength and Endurance Balance: Given Tamara's strength in specific areas and her need for improved running endurance, a balanced training approach is recommended. She should allocate training time equally between strength training (focusing on her weaker segments) and running/endurance training. Incorporating at least two days of focused running training alongside her strength and skill work each week could yield significant improvements.
By focusing on these identified areas of improvement and implementing the suggested training strategies and race tactics, Tamara Van Rooijen can expect to see enhanced performance in future HYROX races. Building on her strengths while addressing her weaker segments with targeted training will make her a more well-rounded and competitive athlete.
