Miller Stephanie Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Stephanie, you rocked the 2024 Dallas Hyrox! Finishing with a time of 01:57:46 places you in the top 79% of over 600 competitors in your age group. That’s no small feat! 👏 Your overall rank of 489 shows you’re in the game, but there’s room for improvement, especially in those running segments.

Looking at your splits, it’s clear you’ve got the strength components down—your Ski Erg and Sled Push were faster than average. However, your total running time of 01:06:13 was 07:42 slower than average, which indicates a need to focus more on your endurance. Given your best running lap was a solid 00:06:56, it’s evident you possess the capability to move quicker; it’s just about finding that sweet pacing rhythm during the race! A hybrid profile is what we’re seeing here, but with a slight lean towards needing more running endurance. You started strong, but the latter segments showed some fatigue creeping in. Remember, “It’s not about being the best; it’s about being better than you were yesterday.”

Segments to Improve:

Now, let’s dive into the segments that need some TLC:

• Running 3 (00:08:57) - This was your slowest lap and where you lost significant time. A couple of factors could be at play: pacing or fatigue after the preceding exercises. Consider:
• Drills: Incorporate interval training into your routine. Try 5x800m at a pace slightly faster than your average running pace with a 2-minute rest in between. This builds both speed and endurance.
• Technique: Focus on maintaining a consistent breathing pattern. Use a 3:2 breathing rhythm (3 steps inhale, 2 steps exhale) to help regulate your pace.
• Running 5 (00:10:13) - This segment was a significant slowdown. It’s crucial to maintain your pace across all runs. Consider:
• Long Runs: Build a long run into your weekly routine. Aim for one run each week that’s about 75-90 minutes long to build endurance. Keep a conversational pace!
• Strength Training: Incorporate running-specific strength workouts, focusing on your glutes, hamstrings, and core. Exercises like deadlifts and lunges can help bolster your running efficiency.
• Roxzone (00:11:25) - Spending more time than average here? That’s where you can really shave off some time! Transitioning efficiently is key. Consider:
• Transition Drills: Practice quick transitions between exercises. Set up a mini-course and time yourself as you switch between running and exercises.
• Fitness: Work on your overall cardiovascular fitness. Adding in some high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can help you recover faster between segments.

Race Strategies:

During the race, pacing is everything! Start with the mindset of “steady wins the race.” Here are some strategies to implement:

• Pacing Plan: Break the race into manageable sections. Start conservatively and pick up the pace on the second and third runs. Aim to finish stronger than you started.
• Nutrition & Hydration: Have a solid pre-race meal and stay hydrated. A well-fueled body will have the energy to push through those later segments! Consider energy gels or chews during the race, especially if it’s a longer event.
• Mental Game: Practice visualization techniques. Imagine yourself nailing each segment, especially those that are tough for you. A strong mind can lead to a stronger body!
