Joyner Josh Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Hey Josh! First off, let’s give a shoutout to your hard work—finishing 88th overall in a competitive Hyrox Pro event is no small feat, especially with 143 athletes in the mix! You’ve demonstrated solid endurance and a commendable spirit through the race. Your overall time of 01:30:30 shows you’re well within the game, but there’s room to elevate yourself even higher.

Looking at your splits, it’s clear you’ve got some strength in your running, but let's break down the pacing. Your total running time of 00:46:07 was a bit slower than the average, indicating that your running profile might need some sharpening. The first running segment (00:06:06) was particularly off pace—definitely a sign that maybe you started too conservatively or were feeling the weight of the exercises beforehand. Remember, your best running lap was a solid 00:04:22, which means you can definitely push the pace more throughout the race!

Overall, you’re a hybrid athlete, but with more focus on running. Let's harness that potential and address the areas where you can gain some speed and efficiency in the next race. 💪

Segments to Improve:

• Sandbag Lunges (00:06:07): This segment was 00:28 slower than average. Focus on your form—keep your core tight and ensure you’re stepping out far enough to engage your glutes. Try incorporating weighted lunges and Bulgarian split squats into your training. Aim for 4 sets of 10-12 reps while maintaining strict form.
• Roxzone (00:09:44): You spent a bit more time in transition than average here, which could indicate needing to boost your overall fitness and transition speed. Work on your recovery drills between exercises. Implementing quick transitions in training can help. Consider doing a circuit where you practice moving from one exercise to another with minimal downtime.
• Running 8 (00:08:05): This segment was 02:00 slower than average. This might have been a tough leg after all those exercises, but don't let that be an excuse! Incorporate tempo runs and interval training into your routine. Aim for 1-2 days of speed work, focusing on sustaining a fast pace for longer durations.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing Strategy: Start strong but not at a sprint—aim for a steady pace in the first 2 running segments. Think of it like a marathon, not a sprint. You want to save energy for the later stages. If your body feels good, then you can start to pick up the pace after the first couple of exercises.
• Transition Efficiency: Practice your transitions during training. Set up a mini-Hyrox course and go through the motions of switching from one exercise to the next. Every second counts, and if you can shave off time here, it adds up significantly!
• Mindset: Remember David Goggins’ words: “You are stopping you. You are giving up instead of getting hard.” Keep pushing through the mental barriers, especially in the latter part of the race. Visualize your success and push through the tough moments.

Conclusion:

Josh, you’re on your way to becoming a formidable force in the Hyrox world! Your performance is commendable, and with a few strategic tweaks and focused training, you’ll see those numbers drop in no time. Remember, every race is a stepping stone to greatness.
