Overall Performance

Thijmen Van Paasen delivered a solid performance in the 2024 Amsterdam Hyrox race, securing an overall rank of 1436, placing him in the top 46% of all participants. In his age group (16-24), he ranked 176th, which is in the top 44%. His overall time was 01:32:07. A notable aspect of his performance was his strong start in the initial running sections and the strength exercises, such as the sled push and pull, where he consistently outperformed the average.

However, Thijmen's total running time was 02:28 slower than the average, which suggests that his running performance needs improvement. While he had a strong start, as evidenced by his Running 1 and Running 2 times, he seemed to lose pace in the later running segments, especially Running 8. This indicates that he might have started too fast and struggled to maintain pace. His profile appears to be more strength-oriented, given his excellent performance in strength exercises compared to running.

Segments to Improve

  • Running Segments: Thijmen's running showed inconsistency, with a significant slowdown in Running 8. To improve, he should focus on endurance training. Incorporate long-distance runs at a moderate pace, coupled with interval training that mimics race conditions. Additionally, practice tempo runs to build sustained speed.
  • Wall Balls: This segment was 01:32 slower than average. Thijmen should work on his form and conditioning to improve efficiency. Include exercises like front squats, thrusters, and plyometric box jumps to enhance leg power and coordination. Practicing wall balls with attention to breathing and rhythm can help maintain a steady pace.
  • Burpees Broad Jump: Being 01:04 slower than average, focus on exercises that enhance both explosive power and endurance. Plyometric drills, such as burpee box jumps and lateral bounds, should be incorporated. Also, practice burpees with a metronome to improve pacing and ensure consistent performance under fatigue.

Race Strategies

  • Pacing Strategy: Start the race at a controlled pace to conserve energy for the latter stages. Use the first few segments to gauge the pace and adjust as needed to prevent burnout, especially in the running portions.
  • Transition Efficiency: Focus on improving transition times in the Roxzone. Practice quick transitions between exercises in training to reduce downtime and maintain momentum.
  • Compromised Running: Develop the ability to run efficiently post-strength exercises. Incorporate brick workouts that combine strength exercises followed immediately by running to simulate race conditions and improve adaptability.
