Overall Performance

Niels Broekhuis delivered a commendable performance in the 2024 Amsterdam HYROX event, finishing in the top 30% of all athletes and his age group. His overall time of 01:23:38 reflects strong capabilities, particularly in strength-based exercises like the Sled Push and Farmers Carry. However, his total running time was 02:12 slower than the average, indicating an area for improvement in running efficiency. Analyzing the initial running segments, it appears Niels started the race too fast, as evidenced by his significant speed in Running 1 (00:42 faster than average) but gradually slowed down in subsequent running segments. Based on his performance across both running and strength segments, Niels shows a hybrid profile, excelling in strength but with room for improvement in running.

Segments to Improve

  • Total Running Time: Given that Niels' total running time was slower than average, focusing on running endurance and pacing will be crucial. Incorporate interval training with varied paces to improve speed endurance. For instance, try a session of 6x800m repeats at a faster pace than race pace with 1-minute recovery jogs. Additionally, include long runs at a steady pace to build aerobic capacity.
  • Burpees Broad Jump: This segment was 00:35 slower than average, suggesting a need for greater efficiency and speed in this exercise. Focus on plyometric exercises such as squat jumps and box jumps to improve explosive power. Additionally, practice burpees with a focus on reducing transition time between jumps to improve efficiency.
  • Sandbag Lunges: With a time of 00:02 slower than average, refinement can be made in technique and strength. Implement strength training routines focusing on leg strength, such as lunges (both weighted and bodyweight) and step-ups. Pay attention to maintaining proper form to prevent fatigue and improve speed.
  • Wall Balls: Despite performing better than average, further gains can be made with a time improvement focus. Incorporate medicine ball exercises to enhance coordination and power. Practice wall ball shots with a focus on maintaining a consistent tempo and efficient breathing throughout the set.

Race Strategies

  • Effective Pacing: Start the race at a comfortable pace rather than too fast. This can help maintain energy levels throughout the race. Use the first few segments as a warm-up to gradually increase intensity.
  • Transition Efficiency: Work on reducing time spent in the Roxzone by practicing quick transitions between exercises during training. Simulate race conditions by setting up exercises back-to-back and timing transitions to improve fluidity and speed.
  • Compromised Running Drills: Include compromised running scenarios in training, where a running segment follows immediately after a strength exercise. This can help condition the body to handle the demands of running on fatigued legs, improving overall race performance.
