Zeleny Rebecca Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Hey Rebecca! First off, major kudos for crushing the 2024 Dallas Hyrox! Finishing in the top 93% overall and 88% in your age group is a solid achievement. You’ve got the heart of a warrior! 💪

Your overall time of 2:16:23 shows that you’ve put in the work, but let’s dive deeper into what went down on race day. Your total running time of 1:09:45 was about 1:07 slower than average, indicating that running isn’t your strongest suit right now. The pacing strategy seemed to be a bit off—especially with your Running 1 being 1:02 slower than average. Starting out too conservatively might have cost you some valuable seconds.

From your splits, it looks like you have a hybrid profile: you excelled in some strength segments (like the Sled Pull) but found yourself lagging in others (like the Sled Push). Your best running lap of 7:27 shows that you definitely have speed in you; it just needs to be channeled better throughout the race. Time to turn those running legs into speed demons! 🏃‍♀️💥

Segments to Improve:

• Total Running Time: With your total running time being slower than average, it’s essential to work on your running endurance and speed. Consider incorporating interval training into your routine. Aim for sessions that include:
  • Long Runs: Gradually increase your distance each week to build endurance.
  • Interval Sprints: Try 400m repeats at a pace faster than race pace, resting for equal time between each sprint.
• Roxzone: Spending 13:46 in transition is a spot to optimize. Focus on improving your overall fitness and practicing transitions. Here’s how:
  • Drills: Set up a mini-Hyrox course and practice moving from one exercise to the next with minimal downtime.
  • Fitness Circuits: Include compound movements (like burpees) to keep your heart rate up while training other segments.
• Wall Balls: Clocking in 9:35 here means there’s potential to shave off some serious time. To improve:
  • Form Focus: Make sure you're using your legs to throw the ball, not just your arms. This will save energy.
  • Reps and Sets: Incorporate wall ball shots into your regular workouts, aiming for higher reps with lighter weights to build endurance.
• Sled Push: A slower time here can be improved with specific strength work:
  • Heavy Pushes: Incorporate heavy sled pushes into your training to build leg strength.
  • Technique Drills: Work on your form to ensure you’re pushing efficiently—stay low and drive with your legs!
• Rowing: Your rowing could use some work. Try these:
  • Rowing Technique: Focus on your stroke rate and ensure you’re engaging your core and legs efficiently.
  • Intervals: Add rowing intervals to your routine, alternating between high-intensity sprints and slower recovery strokes.
• Sandbag Lunges: To turn this segment into a strength, work on:
  • Weighted Lunges: Increase your lunge weight gradually to build strength.
  • Form Checks: Ensure your knee doesn’t go past your toes to avoid injury.
• Farmers Carry: Here’s an easy win:
  • Grip Strength: Incorporate grip strength exercises to help carry heavier loads.
  • Distance Carries: Practice walking longer distances with the weights to build both strength and endurance.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing: Start slower than you think you should! It’s better to finish strong than to burn out early. Your first run should be a warm-up, not a sprint.
• Transitions: Have a plan for your transitions. Practice switching from one exercise to another efficiently to reduce that Roxzone time.
• Breathing: Focus on your breathing during the more challenging segments, especially the burpees and wall balls. Controlled breathing can make a world of difference!
