Segments to Improve
Hanna struggled in several segments of the race, including Running 1, Burpees Broad Jump, Rowing, Ski Erg, Wall Balls, Sandbag Lunges, and her overall running time. These are the areas where she lost the most time compared to the average.
To improve Running 1, Hanna should focus on improving her speed and endurance. Interval training, such as high-intensity interval training (HIIT), can help increase her running speed. Incorporating hill sprints and tempo runs into her training routine will also improve her overall running performance. Additionally, working on her running form and technique can contribute to faster times.
For the Burpees Broad Jump segment, Hanna should work on her explosive power and agility. Plyometric exercises, such as box jumps and squat jumps, can help increase her power output. Incorporating burpees into her training routine will also improve her efficiency and speed in this segment.
To improve her performance in Rowing and Ski Erg, Hanna should focus on developing her cardiovascular endurance and upper body strength. Incorporating rowing and ski erg workouts into her training routine will help improve her technique and efficiency in these segments. Additionally, strengthening exercises for the upper body, such as pull-ups and push-ups, will enhance her overall performance in these exercises.
In the Wall Balls and Sandbag Lunges segments, Hanna should work on her lower body strength and endurance. Squats, lunges, and deadlifts can help improve her leg strength and endurance. Incorporating these exercises into her training routine, along with plyometric exercises for explosiveness, will enhance her performance in these segments.
To improve her overall running time, Hanna should focus on both her running endurance and speed. Incorporating long distance runs, tempo runs, and interval training into her training routine will improve her overall running fitness. Additionally, working on her running form and technique will contribute to faster times.
Strategies
During the race, Hanna should focus on pacing herself effectively. It is important for her to find a balance between pushing her limits and conserving energy for the later segments. By starting at a slightly slower pace and gradually increasing her speed, she can maintain a consistent pace throughout the race.
Hanna should also prioritize efficient transitions between segments to minimize time spent in the roxzone. Practicing quick transitions during training sessions will help her improve her overall race time.
Additionally, it may be beneficial for Hanna to analyze her splits data from previous races or training sessions to identify any patterns or areas of improvement. By focusing on specific segments where she has consistently struggled, she can tailor her training strategies accordingly.
Overall, Hanna Tarkian Tillgren has shown great potential in the 2023 Malmö Hyrox race. By implementing the suggested training strategies and techniques, she can further improve her performance and continue to excel in future races.
