Green Jago Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Jago Green exhibited a commendable performance in the 2024 Birmingham HYROX race. His overall rank of 819 places him in the top 19% of all 4107 participating athletes. Within his age group, he ranks 68th, putting him in the top 21% of 320 athletes. Reflecting on his overall race time of 01:18:41, it is clear that Jago has a strong foundation in both running and strength-based disciplines.

His total running time of 00:38:59, which is 00:57 faster than the average, indicates his proficiency in running. However, an analysis of his pacing from running segments 1 to 4 suggests that he started the race slower than average but gradually improved his pace. This strategy may have allowed him to conserve energy for the latter part of the race, where he consistently outperformed the average times.

On the other hand, his slower roxzone time of 00:07:59, 02:10 slower than average, suggests that he may have rested more or took more time transitioning between exercises. This identifies an area where improvements could lead to a significantly better overall time.

Segments to Improve

• Roxzone: With a time of 00:07:59, Jago's transition between exercises needs improvement. To enhance his roxzone performance, he should focus on improving his transitions between exercises and overall fitness. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) could help him get used to maintaining a high heart rate, which would be beneficial during transitions. Additionally, practicing the transition between different exercises can also help reduce this time.
• Sled Pull: His Sled Pull time lags by 00:23 compared to the average. Strengthening his posterior chain muscles (lower back, glutes, hamstrings, calves) through exercises like deadlifts, leg curls, and glute bridges could help improve his performance in this segment.
• Farmers Carry: Jago's time was 00:26 slower than average on this segment. Strength training, specifically targeting grip strength, and shoulder stability, can improve Farmer's Carry performance. Exercises like dumbbell shrugs and pinch grip lifts might be beneficial.
• Burpees Broad Jump: His time in this segment was 00:05 slower than average. Plyometric exercises like box jumps and practicing burpees could help improve his performance in this area.

Race Strategies

Jago should consider revising his pacing strategy for the initial running segments of the race. Starting off at a moderate pace and gradually increasing could help conserve energy for later segments where he appears to struggle. He should also focus on maintaining an efficient transition between exercises to reduce his roxzone time. Additionally, incorporating more strength training into his routine could help improve his performance in strength-based segments such as the Sled Pull and Farmer's Carry.

Lastly, incorporating more recovery tactics like dynamic stretching, proper nutrition, and adequate rest could also help improve his overall performance and stamina during the race. By focusing on these areas, Jago has the potential to significantly improve his ranking in future HYROX races.
