Beublet Jérémy Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Jérémy, you put in a solid effort at the 2024 Frankfurt Hyrox, finishing with an impressive overall time of 01:18:37, placing you in the top 34% of a tough field of 1,477 athletes. That’s no small feat! Your total running time of 38:58 demonstrates that you're definitely more of a runner than a strength athlete in this competition. Your pacing throughout the race was commendable, especially considering you were faster than average in most of your running segments. However, it seems you might have gone out a bit hot in the first running segment, clocking in at 3:45—34 seconds faster than average. If you can harness that speed without burning out, you'll be an unstoppable force! 🏃💥

Segments to Improve:

Now, let’s dive into the segments that left some room for improvement:

• Sled Pull (5:03): This was a challenging segment for you, coming in 36 seconds slower than average. The sled pull requires both strength and technique. Here’s what you can do:
• Drills: Incorporate sled pulls into your weekly training. Start with lighter weights to focus on form. Aim for intervals of 20-30 meters, focusing on keeping your hips low and driving through your heels.
• Strength Training: Include deadlifts and bent-over rows in your routine to build the necessary back and leg strength.
• Technique Correction: When pulling, make sure to lean back slightly while keeping your arms straight and driving with your legs. This will help maintain momentum.
• Farmers Carry (2:18): You were 17 seconds slower than average here. This exercise is essential for grip strength and core stability. Let’s beef this up:
• Drills: Implement farmers carries into your training, starting with heavier weights over shorter distances and gradually increasing the distance as you get stronger.
• Core Work: Add planks and side planks to strengthen your core, which is crucial for maintaining form during carries. Consider doing carries on uneven terrain to challenge your stability.
• Form Correction: Keep your shoulders back, chest up, and maintain a strong grip. Focus on your breathing to stay calm and steady.
• Sled Push (2:50): You were 10 seconds slower than the average, and this segment can be a game changer in Hyrox. Here’s how to tackle it:
• Drills: Similar to the sled pull, practice sled pushes regularly. Focus on explosive starts and maintaining a steady pace. Try doing 20-meter sprints with a sled to build power.
• Strength Training: Incorporate squats and leg presses to build leg strength, which will translate well into pushing the sled.
• Technique Correction: Keep your hips low and push with your legs rather than your back. Drive through your heels and maintain a consistent rhythm.
• Roxzone (7:42): This was 1:45 slower than average, indicating that transitions took longer than they should. The key here is to work on your overall fitness and transition times:
• Drills: Practice quick transitions between exercises during your training sessions. Set up a circuit that mimics the Hyrox layout and focus on minimizing downtime.
• Overall Fitness: Integrate high-intensity interval training (HIIT) into your routine to boost your overall conditioning.
• Mindset Tip: Visualize your transitions during your training. The more you mentally prepare, the smoother they will be during the race.

Race Strategies:

Going forward, here are some strategies to implement during your next race:

• Pacing: Start the first running segment at a controlled pace. Aim for the average time, rather than going all out. This will help conserve energy for the later segments where you can maintain or increase speed.
• Breathing: Focus on your breathing patterns, especially during the sled segments. Controlled breathing can help manage fatigue and maintain form.
• Transitions: Practice your transitions in training. When you finish an exercise, visualize the next one and move with purpose. Remember, every second counts!
• Stay Hydrated: Hydration is key. Make sure to hydrate adequately before and during the race, especially if it's hot. You don’t want to be the athlete who’s running on fumes!

Conclusion:

Jérémy, you're on the right track and already proving yourself as a formidable contender in Hyrox! Remember, “The only way to get better is to get after it.” Embrace the grind, tackle those weaknesses head-on, and keep pushing your limits. 💪
