Bogy Adam Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Adam, you absolutely crushed it out there! Finishing 17th overall and 2nd in your age group out of 607 athletes is no small feat—you're in the top 2%, and that’s something to be proud of! Your overall time of 01:10:02 is impressive, especially with a total running time of 00:32:21, which is a whopping 03:12 faster than average. Clearly, you have a strong running profile, but let’s dig into those segments to find opportunities for improvement.

Looking at your pacing, it seems like you might have started a bit too slow with your first run at 00:05:11, which is 01:13 slower than average. But you found your footing later, cranking out the last runs much faster. You’ve got a knack for running, but we need to channel that into your strength segments to balance out your performance. You’re a hybrid athlete who needs to work on that strength to match your running prowess. Remember, “It’s not how hard you hit; it’s how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.” – Rocky Balboa 💪

Segments to Improve:

• Wall Balls (00:07:48): This was your slowest segment, and it cost you precious minutes. Focus on technique—keep your feet shoulder-width apart, engage your core, and aim for consistent height on your throws. Start with 3 sets of 10-15 reps for form, then increase the volume while incorporating a squat to build strength. Try this drill: 5 wall balls followed by 10 air squats for 5 rounds. Rest for 2 minutes between rounds.
• Sled Pull (00:04:14): Your time here was 00:19 slower than average. Practice proper form—keep your body low, drive with your legs, and use your core. Incorporate progressive overload into your training. Try sled pulls with varying weights, focusing on maintaining a steady pace. Aim for 3-4 sets of 20-30 meters with rest intervals of 2-3 minutes.
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:04:11): This segment could use some TLC. Focus on explosiveness. Practice your burpees by emphasizing the jump at the end. Set a timer for 10 minutes and see how many rounds you can do with 5 burpees followed by a broad jump. Aim to improve your transition time—every second counts!
• Sled Push (00:02:40): Similar to sled pulls, but the focus is on driving through your legs. Push with your legs, not your back! Incorporate interval training with the sled. Try pushing it for 20 meters, resting for 2 minutes, and repeat for 5 rounds. This will build the necessary strength and endurance.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing: Start conservatively on your first run. You want to keep a steady heart rate and save some gas for the later segments. The last thing you want is to hit the wall early. Think of it as a marathon, not a sprint!
• Transition Times: You spent 00:04:57 in the Roxzone, which is a bit slower than average. To improve this, practice your transitions during training by setting up mock races. Time yourself and aim to cut down on that time by being more efficient with your gear changes and mindset shifts.
• Mindset: When you hit those tougher segments, remind yourself that discomfort is where the growth happens. “The only way to achieve the impossible is to believe it is possible.” – Charles Kingsleigh. Stay focused and keep pushing through!
