Overall Performance

Niek Veldhuis finished the 2024 Amsterdam Hyrox race with an overall time of 01:32:16, placing him in the top 46% of all athletes and the top 48% within his age group. His total running time was 00:45:46, which is 00:09 faster than the average, indicating a stronger running profile. Notably, Niek started the race with a fast pace, as evidenced by his Running 1 split being 00:41 seconds faster than average. However, his pace slowed in subsequent running segments, suggesting a possible early expenditure of energy or a need for better pacing strategy. Despite strong running capabilities, his performance in strength-based exercises such as Burpees Broad Jump and Wall Balls suggests room for improvement in strength endurance.

Segments to Improve

  • Burpees Broad Jump: This segment was 01:23 slower than average. To improve:
    • Drills: Practice burpees with a focus on explosiveness and swift transition to broad jumps.
    • Exercises: Incorporate box jumps and plyometric drills to increase explosive power.
    • Technique: Focus on minimizing rest between burpees and the jump, maintaining continuous momentum.
  • Wall Balls: This segment was 01:42 slower than average. To improve:
    • Drills: Perform wall ball sets with escalating reps to build endurance.
    • Exercises: Incorporate squats and overhead presses to strengthen the necessary muscle groups.
    • Technique: Ensure proper squat form and a smooth transition from squat to throw to conserve energy.
  • Sandbag Lunges: This segment was 00:32 slower than average. To improve:
    • Drills: Include walking lunges with a weighted vest to simulate race conditions.
    • Exercises: Strengthen quadriceps and glutes with squats and deadlifts.
    • Technique: Focus on maintaining an upright posture and controlled lunges to improve efficiency.

Race Strategies

  • Energy Management: Start the race at a more controlled pace to conserve energy for later segments, especially strength-based exercises.
  • Transition Efficiency: Although the Roxzone time was impressive, maintain focus to ensure smooth transitions throughout the race to prevent unnecessary energy loss.
  • Compromised Running: Practice running immediately after completing strength exercises to adapt to the sensation of 'heavy legs' and improve overall running pace post-exercises.
