Lovera Suárez Oscar Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Oscar Lovera Suárez, a fitness athlete in the 40-44 age group, participated in the 2024 Ciudad de Mexico HYROX event and demonstrated commendable performance. He ranked in the top 14% of 905 athletes overall and secured the 15th rank in his age group, placing him in the top 11% of 126 athletes. His overall time was 01:22:41, which, although impressive, revealed some areas needing improvement.

When reviewing Oscar's total running time of 00:44:01, it was noted that he was 02:31 slower than the average, indicating a stronger focus on strength exercises than running. His pacing in the initial segments from running 1 to running 4 also suggests that he started slower compared to the average, which could have impacted his overall running time.

Segments to Improve:

• Running: Oscar's total running time was slower than average, indicating this is an area that needs improvement. To enhance his running speed, Oscar might consider incorporating interval training into his routine, alternating between high-intensity and low-intensity running. Additionally, long-distance running could be beneficial for improving stamina. Hill sprints could also be useful in building strength and speed.
• Roxzone: Oscar's Roxzone time was 00:07:01, which is 00:42 slower than the average. This suggests that he may be taking longer to transition between exercises or may need more rest. To improve this, Oscar should consider practicing quick transitions between different exercises to improve his efficiency. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) could be beneficial in increasing his overall fitness level and reducing his need for rest.
• Rowing: Oscar's rowing time was 00:05:10, which is 00:25 slower than the average. Rowing is a full-body exercise that requires both strength and endurance. Focused rowing drills, such as power strokes where the focus is on pulling as hard as possible, can help improve strength. Similarly, endurance drills, where the focus is on maintaining a steady rhythm for a prolonged period, can help improve stamina.
• Ski Erg: Oscar's Ski Erg time was slower than average, indicating room for improvement. Specific Ski Erg drills, like the pyramid drill or the sprint start drill, can help to increase both speed and endurance.
• Farmers Carry: Oscar's Farmers Carry time was slower than average, indicating this is an area for improvement. Strength training, specifically targeting grip strength, could be beneficial. Exercises such as deadlifts and farmers walks with heavy kettlebells can help improve grip strength.

Race Strategies:

For future races, Oscar should consider implementing the following strategies:

• Start Faster: Considering Oscar's slower start in the initial running segments, starting the race at a faster pace could be beneficial. This does not mean sprinting right out of the gate, but rather maintaining a steady, slightly faster pace than his usual.
• Efficient Transitions: Oscar's slower Roxzone time suggests that he may be taking longer to transition between exercises. Practicing quick transitions during training could help improve his efficiency during the race.
• Consistent Pacing: Maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race, especially during the running segments, could help improve Oscar's overall time. He should aim to avoid drastic fluctuations in speed, which can drain energy rapidly.
• Strength Training: Given Oscar's slower times in strength-focused exercises like the Ski Erg and Farmers Carry, incorporating more strength training into his routine could help improve his performance in these areas.
