Phruethisathaphon Tanasarn Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Tanasarn, first off, big kudos for your performance! Finishing in the top 25% overall at the Hong Kong Hyrox is no small feat, especially with 2712 athletes on the course! Your overall time of 01:42:31 shows you're putting in some serious work. Now, let’s talk about your pacing. It looks like you started a bit too fast, especially in Running 1, where you were 36 seconds slower than the average. This can throw off your endurance later in the race. Your total running time of 50:29 is a bit slower than average, which suggests you might lean more towards the running side of things. This means we need to balance that with some serious strength work to really crank up your Hyrox game! 💪

Segments to Improve:

• Farmers Carry: 05:13 - Oof! This segment was 2:37 slower than average, and it’s got some serious room for improvement. Focus on grip strength and core stability. Try farmer's walks with heavier weights for time, and don’t forget to switch up your grip to avoid plateauing. Aim for 3 sets of 40-60 seconds, increasing the weight progressively.
• Total Running Time: 50:29 - A bit slower than average, but you’ve got potential here! To improve, incorporate interval training into your routine. Try doing 400m repeats at a near-sprint pace with a 1:1 work-to-rest ratio. This will help boost your speed and endurance. And remember, don’t skip leg day – squats and lunges are your friends!
• Roxzone: 09:38 - A slower transition means you might have spent too much time resting or not moving efficiently between zones. Work on your 'transition drills.' Set up a mini-course where you practice moving quickly from one exercise to another, focusing on minimizing downtime. A stopwatch will help you track your progress!
• Sled Pull: 06:32 - This segment was about 30 seconds slower than average. To tackle this, focus on building your pulling strength with resistance bands or sled pulls. Incorporate single-arm rows and lat pulldowns to strengthen the muscles involved.
• Ski Erg: 05:13 - While you performed well here, there’s still room to shave some seconds. Work on your technique: ensure you're engaging your core and using your legs effectively. Try doing intervals of 500m, focusing on power output and rhythm.
• Sled Push: 03:33 - About 3 seconds slower than average, but still, we can improve! Incorporate sled pushes into your training, focusing on explosive starts. Aim for short distances with maximum effort followed by adequate rest.

Race Strategies:

During the race, pacing is key! Start with a conservative pace in the first run to avoid burning out early. Use a heart rate monitor if you can, and aim to stay within 75-85% of your max heart rate in the early stages. In transition, practice quick changes – have a plan for what you’ll do next and stick to it. Visualize your transitions as part of your workout, so they become natural. And remember, laughter is the best cardio! So, keep your spirits high and enjoy the process.

Conclusion:

Tanasarn, you’ve got the heart of a lion and the spirit of a champion! Remember, every time you push through a tough workout, you're not just building strength; you're building character. As they say, “Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work gains success.” Keep pushing, keep grinding, and let's turn those weaknesses into strengths. The next race is just around the corner, and I know you’ll be ready to crush it! 🏆💥

Stay strong, and keep that Hyrox fire burning! This is The Rox-Coach, signing off. 💪
