Le Bras Loïs Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Loïs, let’s break down your race performance at the 2024 Marseille Hyrox. You finished with an overall time of 01:25:42, placing 873rd overall and 246th in your age group. You're sitting comfortably in the top 58% of 1504 athletes, which is a solid showing. Your total running time of 00:39:28 is impressive, coming in 03:13 faster than the average. It’s clear you’ve got a runner’s engine—congrats on that! 🏃‍♂️

However, your pacing at the start was a bit conservative, as reflected in your Running 1 split, which was 01:17 slower than average. Starting a bit faster could have set a stronger tone for the race. You’ve got a good mix of endurance and speed, but there’s room for improvement in your strength events. Overall, you’ve shown that you’re better suited to running, so let’s work on that strength to ensure you can crush those sled pulls and burpees next time.

Segments to Improve:

Let’s dive into the segments where you can really up your game:

• Sled Pull (00:07:27): Ouch! This was definitely your slowest segment. Focus on technique: engage your core, keep your back straight, and drive with your legs. Practice pulling heavier sleds for short distances to build explosive strength. Try incorporating resistance bands to mimic the pulling motion while focusing on form.
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:06:10): You spent a bit too much time here. Train for efficiency: practice a quick transition from burpee to jump. Implement drills that focus on completing burpees in sets of 10 with minimal rest, emphasizing speed and form. Aim for a smooth flow; it’s not a dance-off, but you can still be graceful!
• Farmers Carry (00:02:56): This segment could definitely benefit from strength training. Work on your grip strength—use heavy kettlebells or dumbbells and walk for distance. Incorporate shoulder stabilization exercises like shoulder presses and front raises to improve endurance in your grip and core while carrying.
• Sandbag Lunges (00:05:30): Here’s a chance to build leg strength and endurance. Focus on increasing your sandbag weight gradually. Incorporate lunge variations into your routine, such as walking lunges and reverse lunges, to build overall leg strength and stability. Remember, quality over quantity!
• Sled Push (00:03:04): While you were close to average here, there’s room for improvement. Focus on driving through your legs and maintaining a strong body position. Practice pushing heavier weights for short distances, and try to work on your leg drive and technique in your training sessions.

Race Strategies:

Now let’s talk strategy. During your next race, think about:

• Start Strong: Don’t be afraid to push a bit harder in the early running segments. Set the tone for your race right from the beginning. You’ll thank yourself later!
• Efficiency in Transitions: Your roxzone time was 00:06:24, which is faster than average, but let’s make it even quicker. Use that time to hydrate and catch your breath, but practice moving swiftly between zones during training. Think of it as a mini sprint!
• Mindset: Adopt a growth mindset. Remember, “You are never too good to get better.” Focus on your strengths, but don’t shy away from the weaknesses. Embrace them as opportunities to improve. If David Goggins can run 100 miles in the desert, you can conquer a few sled pulls!

Conclusion:

Loïs, you’ve shown great potential with your running ability, but it’s time to strengthen those weaknesses. Remember, “The pain you feel today will be the strength you feel tomorrow.” Keep pushing, keep training, and don’t forget to have fun while you’re at it! Next race, the motto is: “Don’t just show up; show out!” 💥

Stay committed, and let’s turn those segments into strengths for your next Hyrox challenge. You've got this, and I’m here to help you every step of the way. Keep grinding, and don’t forget to laugh along the journey—after all, who says working out can’t be fun? 😉 You're not just building a body; you're building a warrior mentality!

Keep crushing it, Loïs! 💪
