Beaux Pierre Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Pierre, you threw down quite a performance at the 2024 Marseille Hyrox! Finishing with a time of 01:26:33, you landed in the top 61% of all athletes and the top 66% in your age group. That's no small feat! Your overall running time of 00:38:26 indicates that you have a runner's profile, as you were 04:43 faster than average. However, your pacing seemed a bit off at the start; the first running segment was 01:01 slower than average. Starting strong is key, but it looks like you might have been too cautious or perhaps saving energy for the later segments. No one wants to be the tortoise in this race, right? 🐢💨

Your performance shows that you have solid running capabilities, but there’s room for improvement in your strength-based segments. You’ve got the speed, Pierre; now let’s work on the power to match it! With some targeted training, those segments that lagged can become your new strengths.

Segments to Improve:

• Wall Balls: 00:08:53 (02:19 slower than average)
  • Focus on your squat depth and explosive movement. Aim for a 1:1 ratio of the squat to the throw—get low and drive up!
  • Drill: Perform 5 sets of 10 reps of wall balls with a focus on form. Rest only 30 seconds between sets to simulate race fatigue.
• Burpees Broad Jump: 00:06:44 (01:22 slower than average)
  • Consider breaking the movement down: focus on getting up quickly after the push-up and jumping explosively.
  • Drill: 10 burpees followed by a 10-meter broad jump for 5 rounds. Alternate between regular burpees and burpees with a tuck jump to build power.
• Sled Push: 00:03:46 (00:50 slower than average)
  • Work on your leg drive and core stability. The sled push should feel like a sprint!
  • Drill: Push the sled for 20 meters with maximal effort, rest 2 minutes, and repeat for 6 rounds. Ensure your hips stay low and you maintain a strong forward lean.
• Sled Pull: 00:05:42 (00:42 slower than average)
  • Focus on using your legs more than your arms. Engage your core and keep a steady pace.
  • Drill: 6 sets of 15-meter sled pulls at max effort, with a focus on engaging your legs and core. Rest 2 minutes between sets.
• Farmers Carry: 00:02:28 (00:16 slower than average)
  • Keep your shoulders back and core engaged. It’s all about grip strength and body control.
  • Drill: Carry heavy kettlebells for 40 meters, rest 1 minute and repeat for 5 sets. Add weight gradually as you improve.
• Sandbag Lunges: 00:05:14 (00:06 slower than average)
  • Ensure proper form: keep your torso upright and drive through your front heel.
  • Drill: 4 sets of 12 lunges (6 per leg) with a sandbag. Focus on explosive movement and stability.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing: Start strong but controlled in your first run. Aim for a target time that’s only a few seconds off your average, and then build momentum into the second and third runs.
• Transitions: Your roxzone time was 00:06:08, which was 00:50 faster than average. Keep that up! Use the transitions to regain your breath without lounging around.
• Mindset: Remember, “You’re not done when you’re tired; you’re done when you’re finished.” Keep that mental game sharp and push through discomfort. 💥

Conclusion:

Pierre, you’ve shown that you have the speed to compete in this arena. Now, it’s time to elevate your strength game. Strength and endurance aren’t mutually exclusive; they complement each other. Remember, “The only way to get comfortable being uncomfortable is to embrace the grind.” 🏆

It’s all about focusing your training on those segments that need work while maintaining your killer running speed. You’ve got the heart of a lion, now let’s refine that muscle! The finish line isn’t just a mark; it’s a statement of your hard work and dedication. Keep pushing, keep training, and remember: “It’s not about the destination; it’s about the journey.
