Overall Performance
Marlies Bergsma delivered an impressive performance at the 2024 Amsterdam Hyrox event, securing an overall rank of 78 and placing 12th in her age group. This puts her in the top 2% of all participants and top 1% within her age group, indicating a strong competitive edge. Her total running time was 2:10 slower than average, suggesting that she could benefit from enhanced running training. The initial running segments indicate that Marlies may have started too fast, especially given her 9th percentile rank in Running 1, but slowed considerably in the latter segments. This suggests a need for better pacing strategies. Overall, Marlies exhibits a more hybrid profile, excelling in strength segments like Sled Push and Pull but needing improvement in overall running and endurance.
Segments to Improve
Total Running Time: The running segments collectively offer the most significant opportunity for improvement. Marlies can benefit from incorporating longer distance runs to build endurance, interval training to improve speed, and tempo runs to find a sustainable race pace. Consider drills like hill sprints to enhance overall running strength and efficiency.
Wall Balls: This segment showed a noticeable time lag. To improve, Marlies should focus on enhancing her upper body endurance and explosive power. Suggested exercises include medicine ball slams, thrusters, and overhead press. Practicing wall balls in sets with rest intervals can help simulate race conditions and improve stamina.
Race Strategies
Pacing: Marlies should aim for a more consistent pace throughout the race. Starting too fast may lead to early fatigue, affecting performance in later segments. Practicing negative splits during training can help manage energy efficiently.
Transitions: Improving transition times between exercise zones or the 'Roxzone' can lead to a significant overall time reduction. Practicing quick transitions in training and minimizing rest periods can enhance this aspect.
Compromised Running: Incorporate compromised running drills, where Marlies runs immediately after strength exercises. This will simulate race conditions, enhancing her ability to maintain speed and form post-exertion.
By focusing on these targeted strategies and training techniques, Marlies Bergsma can continue to excel and potentially improve her future performances in Hyrox races.
