Overall Performance
Leigh Swords demonstrated a solid performance in the 2024 Amsterdam HYROX race, ranking in the top 31% overall and the top 37% in his age group. His overall time was 01:24:18, with a total running time of 00:47:52, which was 05:23 slower than the average, indicating room for improvement in running endurance and speed. Despite this, Leigh excelled in strength-based exercises, as evidenced by his percentile ranks in segments like Sled Push (7%), Sandbag Lunges (6%), and Sled Pull (11%). His pacing strategy showed a strong start but struggled in the middle running segments, suggesting he may benefit from a more balanced approach to maintain energy levels throughout the race.
Segments to Improve
Running Segments:
Leigh's performance dropped notably in Running 4, 5, 6, and 7, where he was significantly slower than average. To improve, Leigh should focus on enhancing his running endurance and speed. Specific exercises include:
Interval Training: Incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with short, fast sprints followed by recovery periods to build speed and stamina.
Tempo Runs: Integrate tempo runs into weekly training to improve lactate threshold and running economy.
Long Slow Distance (LSD) Runs: Schedule weekly long runs to build aerobic capacity and endurance.
Roxzone:
The time spent in the Roxzone indicated efficient transitions, but there is still potential for improvement. Leigh should practice swift transitions between exercises to reduce this time further. Suggestions include:
Transition Drills: Practice rapid transitions between different exercise stations to simulate race conditions.
Functional Fitness Circuits: Incorporate circuit training with minimal rest to improve overall fitness and transition efficiency.
Race Strategies
Pacing Strategy:
Leigh should focus on maintaining a balanced pace throughout the race. Starting too fast can lead to energy depletion in later segments, especially in a race format that combines running with strength exercises. Implement a pacing plan that allows for a steady energy expenditure.
Compromised Running Scenarios:
Practice running immediately after high-intensity strength exercises to simulate race conditions. This will help Leigh adapt to the fatigue experienced during the race and improve his performance in the compromised running segments.
Nutritional Strategy:
Develop a race-day nutrition plan to ensure optimal energy levels. Consider carbohydrate loading before the race and consuming easily digestible energy sources during the race.
