Craig Smillie delivered a strong overall performance in the 2024 Birmingham HYROX Pro race, placing in the top 27% of 524 athletes. His total running time was 00:35:25, which is 02:38 faster than the average for his finish time, indicating a strong runner profile. However, despite his strong running times, there were discrepancies in his performance during the various segments of the race.
For instance, Craig's performance in the first running segment, Running 1, was slower than average. But he was able to recover and improve his speed in the subsequent running segments. This could suggest that Craig started the race a bit too slow.
Also worth noting is the time spent in the roxzone, which was slower than the average, suggesting that Craig may have taken more time for transitions or rest.
Start Strong: Craig's performance in the first running segment suggests that he could benefit from starting the race at a quicker pace. Training with progressive runs, where each mile is faster than the one before, could help him with this.
Transition Efficiency: As suggested by the slower roxzone time, Craig should work on making his transitions between exercises quicker and more efficient. This could involve practicing the specific movements required for each transition, as well as improving his overall conditioning so he needs less rest between exercises.
Segment Specific Training: Given his slower times in the Sled Pull, Burpees Broad Jump, and Ski Erg segments, Craig should focus on improving his strength and power for these exercises. This could involve incorporating more strength and power training into his routine, as well as practicing the specific movements required for these exercises.
