Overall Performance
In the 2024 Paris Hyrox race, Eric Desplanches put up a commendable performance, finishing in the top 44% of the 1579 athletes and ranking 39th in his age group of 45-49. His overall time was 01:24:07. However, his total running time was 00:43:24, which was 01:14 slower than the average for his finish time. This suggests that Eric may have a stronger focus in strength exercises compared to running, as indicated by his faster-than-average times in exercises like the Ski Erg, Sled Push, Burpees Broad Jump, and Sandbag Lunges. In terms of pacing, Eric started the race strong, with faster than average times in the initial running segments. However, his speed waned in the later segments, particularly Running 5, indicating a potential lack of endurance for prolonged running.
Segments to Improve
Eric's performance seems to be particularly hampered by the Sled Pull and Running 5 segments, where he was significantly slower than the average. His Roxzone and Wall Balls segments also have room for improvement.
- Sled Pull: Eric can work on improving his sled pull time by incorporating specific strength and conditioning exercises into his training. These could include deadlifts for lower body strength, rows for upper body and grip strength, and Farmer's walks for overall strength and endurance. Additionally, practicing the actual movement of sled pulling can also be beneficial to improve technique.
- Running 5: Eric's running endurance needs improvement, as indicated by his slower time in Running 5. Interval training, where periods of high-intensity running are alternated with periods of rest or lower-intensity running, can help improve cardiovascular endurance. Long slow distance runs can also help in building endurance.
- Roxzone: To improve his Roxzone time, Eric should focus on improving his overall fitness and transition times. Circuit training that mimics the transition between different exercises can help in this aspect.
- Wall Balls: Wall ball exercises require a combination of strength, coordination, and endurance. Squats and kettlebell swings can help build lower body strength, while medicine ball throws can improve coordination and power. Additionally, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) using wall balls can enhance endurance.
Race Strategies
In future races, Eric should aim to maintain a steady pace throughout the race instead of starting out too fast and fading towards the end. This can be achieved by regularly practicing pacing during training runs. Furthermore, focusing on efficient transitions between exercises can shave off precious seconds from his overall time. Lastly, incorporating more running and endurance training into his routine can balance out his strength advantage and make him a more well-rounded athlete.
