Based on our analysis, here are the focus areas for improvement. The goal is to determine how quickly the athlete could improve on some stations and where is the path of least resistance to improve Smith Matt's time.
The percentile rank is the current position of the athlete compared to the competition. It goes from 0 to 100, where 0 is the best and 100 is the worst. It show the potential improvement for each station. The athlete should focus on the stations with the highest potential improvement and the biggest duration.
A big improvement in the Farmer's carry station will not be as impactful as a small improvement in the wall ball station for instance. Just click on a station to see how easy it will be to improve and how important it is to focus on it during training.

Matt Smith demonstrated an impressive performance in the 2024 Birmingham HYROX event, finishing in the top 3% of all athletes and top 4% within his age group. Notably, his total running time was 3 minutes and 26 seconds faster than average, indicating a strong aptitude for running. In terms of pacing, Matt started at a slower pace than average in Running 1, but significantly improved in subsequent running segments, consistently finishing faster than average. This suggests a well-executed pacing strategy, allowing him to conserve energy for the later stages of the race.
His performance indicates a more runner-oriented profile, suggesting that areas of strength training could be targeted for improvement. The segments in need of enhancement are mainly strength-based exercises, including the Roxzone, Burpees Broad Jump, Sled Pull, and Wall Balls. Improvement in these areas will contribute to a more balanced overall profile.
Matt should continue his pacing strategy of starting slower and increasing speed in later running segments, as this has proven to be effective. However, he should also consider incorporating strength training within his running routine to avoid compromising his running performance post strength-based exercises. In addition, focusing on the transition from running to strength-based exercises can help reduce the Roxzone time. Matt could consider practicing the transition between running and strength exercises to minimize the time lost in transition.
Finally, working on improving his form in strength-based exercises can help increase efficiency and reduce the risk of injury. This can be achieved through targeted strength and mobility exercises, as well as potentially working with a coach or trainer to receive personalized feedback and guidance.
