Overall Performance:
Edward Lewis showcased a commendable performance at the 2024 World Championships in Nice, finishing in the top 37% overall and the top 43% in his age group. This puts Edward solidly in the competitive range for his category, with specific strengths and areas for improvement. Notably, Edward's total running time was 04:42 faster than average, indicating a stronger runner profile. This suggests that while Edward excels in running, there's potential to enhance his strength training to balance his athlete profile. His pacing at the start appeared slightly slower, but he significantly improved as the race progressed, showcasing endurance and the ability to finish strong. However, to reach peak performance, focusing on certain strength-based segments and transition times (Roxzone) will be crucial.
Segments to Improve:
Wall Balls: This segment was significantly slower than average, indicating a need for improvement in explosive power and muscular endurance. Incorporate exercises such as thrusters, kettlebell swings, and medicine ball slams to build power. Practice wall balls with varying weights to improve technique and endurance, focusing on maintaining a consistent rhythm and squat depth.
Sandbag Lunges: To improve in this area, Edward should focus on strengthening his lower body and core. Exercises such as weighted lunges, step-ups, and Bulgarian split squats will be beneficial. In addition, incorporating sandbag workouts to simulate race conditions can help improve grip strength and balance.
Sled Pull: The slower time suggests a need for stronger posterior chain muscles. Deadlifts, kettlebell swings, and sled drags can be incorporated into training to build strength. Practicing the sled pull with incremental weights can also help Edward get accustomed to the resistance and improve his technique.
Farmers Carry: Grip strength and shoulder stability appear to be limiting factors here. Edward should include grip strengthening exercises, such as farmer's walks with heavy dumbbells, barbell holds, and wrist curls. Shoulder stabilization exercises like overhead carries and Turkish get-ups will also be beneficial.
Race Strategies:
Start Pace Adjustment: Given Edward's stronger finish in the running segments, adjusting his start pace to prevent starting too slow can help shave off critical seconds from his overall time. A more aggressive start in the initial runs, balanced with his proven endurance, may lead to overall time improvement.
Transition Speed (Roxzone): Focus on minimizing rest time and speeding up transitions between exercises. This can be practiced by setting up a circuit training routine that mimics the race layout, allowing Edward to practice moving quickly and efficiently between different types of exercises.
Strength-Running Hybrid Training: Since Edward has a strong running base, incorporating strength training on the same days as lighter runs can help improve his capacity to handle running after strength-based obstacles. This hybrid training approach will better prepare his body for the demands of both running and strength segments within the race.
Technique Optimization: For segments like Wall Balls and Sandbag Lunges, focusing on technique can lead to significant time savings. Workshops or coaching sessions focusing on form and efficiency for these specific exercises can provide insights into minor adjustments that lead to major improvements.
By addressing these targeted areas for improvement with focused training and strategic race planning, Edward Lewis can build upon his solid foundation to achieve even greater success in future HYROX races.
