Overall Performance

Alessio Marano delivered a commendable performance at the 2024 Milan Hyrox race, securing an overall rank within the top 46% of all participants, and within the top 52% in his age group. His total running time of 41:21 was significantly faster (03:09) than the average, indicating a strong running profile. Alessio exhibits exceptional running capabilities, especially noted by his best lap of 04:26, which was the fastest among his segments. His early race pacing appeared conservative, with the first running segment being slower than average, suggesting a potential strategy of energy conservation for later stages. However, his speed notably increased in the later running segments, highlighting his strength in maintaining stamina and speed throughout the race.

Segments to Improve

• Burpees Broad Jump: With a time of 06:37, which is 01:08 slower than average, this segment was one of the most challenging for Alessio. To improve:
  • Drills: Focus on explosive power drills such as box jumps and clap push-ups to enhance overall power and execution speed.
  • Technique: Ensure proper form by maintaining a strong core and engaging the hips during each jump to increase efficiency.
• Sled Pull: At 06:04, Alessio was 00:58 slower than average. For improvement:
  • Exercises: Incorporate sled drags and heavy rope pulls into training to build specific strength and endurance.
  • Form: Focus on a low center of gravity and consistent hand-over-hand technique to maintain momentum.
• Sandbag Lunges: Completing this in 06:18, which is 00:59 slower than average, indicates a need for more lower body strength endurance.
  • Training: Emphasize lunges with added weights and Bulgarian split squats to build strength and stability.
  • Technique: Maintain an upright posture and consistent breathing to improve performance.
• Wall Balls: With a time of 07:20, which is 00:34 slower than average, Alessio can benefit from:
  • Exercises: Practice wall balls with varied weights to build muscle endurance.
  • Form: Focus on a smooth squat-to-throw transition and consistent breathing.
• Roxzone: Although his time of 06:59 was slightly faster than average, improving transitions can further enhance overall performance.
  • Drills: Practice quick transitions between exercises, focusing on minimizing rest and maintaining a steady pace.
  • Conditioning: Incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to improve cardiovascular fitness and recovery speed.

Race Strategies

• Pacing Strategy: Given his strong finishing running segments, Alessio could benefit from a slightly more aggressive start, ensuring energy is evenly distributed across all segments.
• Transition Efficiency: Focus on reducing time spent in the Roxzone by refining transition techniques through practice and simulation runs.
• Strength and Endurance Balance: Since Alessio shows a strong running profile, incorporating more strength-based training will help balance his overall athletic performance, especially in compromised running scenarios following strength exercises.
