Overall Performance
Karlijn Willems delivered an impressive performance in the 2024 Amsterdam Hyrox race, securing an overall rank of 226, placing her in the top 7% of 3,118 athletes. In her age group category (35-39), she ranked 36th, which places her in the top 6% of 555 athletes. Her total running time of 43:58 was faster than average by three seconds, indicating a strong running ability. However, the pattern of her splits suggests that she may have started too fast, as evidenced by her exceptional first running segment, and then gradually slowed down in subsequent running segments. This indicates a need to focus on sustaining her pace throughout the race. Her performance suggests a hybrid profile with a slight edge in running over strength-based exercises.
Segments to Improve
Wall Balls: With a time of 5:26, which is 1:24 slower than average, this segment is a significant area for improvement. Karlijn should focus on developing shoulder and leg endurance. Exercises like thrusters, overhead presses, and wall ball drills with varied repetition schemes will help enhance her efficiency.
Sandbag Lunges: Completing this segment 45 seconds slower than average suggests a need to improve lower body strength and stability. Incorporating sandbag training, walking lunges, and Bulgarian split squats into her regimen will be beneficial.
Burpees Broad Jump: Being 15 seconds slower here indicates room for improvement in explosive power and agility. Drill techniques like box jumps, plyometric push-ups, and burpee variations to enhance power output.
Running Segments (Post Exercise): Karlijn's running performance declined after strength exercises, indicating a need to train in compromised running scenarios. Integrate circuit training that combines running with strength exercises to simulate race conditions and improve transition efficiency.
Race Strategies
Pacing Strategy: To avoid starting too fast, Karlijn should focus on maintaining a steady pace throughout the running segments. Implement interval training with varying paces to better manage her speed over the entire race.
Transition Efficiency: Although her Roxzone time was faster than average, further improvement can be made by practicing quick transitions. Set up mock transition zones in training to better simulate race conditions and improve transition times.
Strength-Endurance Balance: Since Karlijn shows a slight edge in running, she should aim to balance this with strength training. Incorporating compound movements and strength circuits will help build endurance in strength exercises, thus improving overall race performance.
Nutrition and Recovery: Optimize her nutrition plan to ensure adequate energy levels throughout the race. Focus on post-race recovery protocols to aid muscle repair and prepare for subsequent training sessions.
