Overall Performance
Liam Murphy put up a commendable performance in the 2024 Birmingham HYROX race. His total running time was 01:43 faster than the average, indicating a stronger running profile. His pacing during the running segments seemed to improve as the race progressed, with his time for Running 1 being slower than average, but subsequent running segments being at par or faster than average times. This shows that he may have initially started slower but picked up pace later in the race, indicating a good sense of endurance management.
Segments to Improve
- Wall Balls: This was Liam's weakest segment, being 01:40 slower than the average. To improve this, Liam should consider incorporating more functional strength training into his routine. Specific exercises that could help include squats, wall ball shots, and medicine ball cleans. Practicing these regularly can help improve the strength and stamina needed for the wall balls segment.
- Sled Pull: Liam's performance in this segment was also below average. To improve, he should work on his lower body strength and endurance. Exercises such as deadlifts, squats, and kettlebell swings can be beneficial. Practicing the actual movement of pulling a weighted sled can also be a good way to improve in this area.
- Burpees Broad Jump: Liam was slightly slower in this segment. Plyometric exercises, such as box jumps and power skips, can help improve explosive power and agility, which are crucial for this segment. Moreover, practicing burpees combined with broad jumps will help him get more comfortable with the movement sequence.
Race Strategies
For future races, Liam should consider the following strategies:
- Starting Pace: As seen from the splits, Liam started slower in the initial running segment. While it's important not to start too fast and burn out, starting too slow can also cost valuable time. He should aim for a consistent pace throughout the race.
- Transitions: Liam's Roxzone time was slightly faster than average, indicating good transition times between different segments. However, as this is a multi-discipline event, the transition times can always be improved. Practicing quick transitions between different types of exercises during training can help in this.
- Strength Training: Given that Liam has a strong running profile, he should focus more on strength training to improve his performance in the strength-based segments. This can help him become a more well-rounded athlete and improve his overall race times.
