Thom Van Velsen delivered a commendable performance in the 2024 Amsterdam Hyrox event, achieving an overall rank in the top 16% and a rank in his age group in the top 18%. His overall time of 01:17:02 is quite competitive. However, an analysis of his pacing reveals a pattern of starting strong but gradually slowing down, particularly in the running segments. His best running lap was notably faster than average, suggesting he has the potential for strong running performance. Despite this, his total running time was slightly slower than average, indicating room for improvement in endurance or pacing strategy. Thom shows a balanced profile with both running and strength abilities, although enhancing his running endurance could yield substantial benefits.
While Thom's running abilities are evident, his total running time was slower than average. To enhance this, focus on building running endurance and pacing. Incorporate interval training and tempo runs to improve speed and stamina. Consider hill sprints to build strength and endurance simultaneously.
This segment was significantly slower than average. Practice explosive movements and plyometric drills to enhance power and efficiency. Work on form by focusing on minimizing ground contact time and maximizing jump distance. Include exercises like box jumps and squat jumps in the routine.
Although close to average, there's room for improvement in this segment. Focus on building leg and shoulder endurance. Exercises like thrusters and high-rep squats can improve the muscle groups involved. Pay attention to technique, ensuring efficient energy transfer and a steady rhythm.
Thom's performance here was slower than expected. To improve, strengthen grip and core stability. Practice with varying weights and distances. Include deadlifts and kettlebell carries in the training regimen to enhance overall strength and stability.
Given the fast start and subsequent slowdown, focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race. Use the initial laps to find a sustainable rhythm rather than pushing too hard early on.
Thom's Roxzone time was excellent, indicating efficient transitions. Continue to focus on maintaining calm and rapid transitions to save time between exercises.
Train for running under fatigue by incorporating compromised running drills post-exercises like burpees and sled pushes. This will better simulate race conditions and improve Thom's ability to maintain pace even when tired.
By focusing on these areas of improvement and employing effective race strategies, Thom can further elevate his performance in future Hyrox races.
