Overall Performance
Ben Ritson turned in a strong performance in the 2024 Birmingham Hyrox race. His overall rank of 236 places him in the top 45% of all athletes, and his age group rank of 10 demonstrates his competitive edge among his peers in the 16-24 age group. His total running time was 00:44:19, which was 03:06 slower than the average, indicating that he has a stronger profile in strength exercises than in running.
Ben started the race slower than average with his first running segment but managed to make up time in strength exercises like the sled push, sled pull, farmers carry, and sandbag lunges. Despite the slower start, his pacing improved as he progressed through the race, resulting in a faster than average time in the final running segment. This suggests a good ability to pace himself and not deplete his energy reserves too early in the race.
Segments to Improve
Running Total: As the total running time was slower than average, Ben should focus more on his running speed and endurance. Interval training can be beneficial for improving both of these areas. This could include short sprints followed by periods of slower, recovery running. Additionally, incorporating hill runs into his training routine can help increase leg strength and endurance.
Roxzone: The Roxzone time was significantly slower than average, indicating that Ben took more rest or transition time. Improving overall fitness and working on transition speed can help reduce this time. Specific exercises to improve fitness could include high intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts, while practicing transitions during training sessions can help improve speed and efficiency during the actual race.
Burpees Broad Jump: The time for this segment was slower than average, suggesting that Ben may need to work on explosive strength and coordination. Plyometric exercises such as box jumps and power skips can help improve these areas. Practicing the actual movement of the burpee broad jump during training can also help improve form and efficiency.
Race Strategies
Given his performance, Ben should consider the following strategies for future races:
Start at a comfortable pace in the initial running segment to conserve energy for later stages of the race. This strategy could prevent early fatigue and allow for increased speed in later running segments.
Continue to capitalize on strength segments as these are currently his areas of advantage. However, he should also practice transitioning quickly from these segments to the running segments to minimize rest time.
Focus on maintaining a steady rhythm during the running segments. Instead of trying to sprint and then rest, maintaining a consistent pace can help improve overall running time.
