Arámburu González Mariano Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Mariano Arámburu González demonstrated a strong overall performance in the 2024 Ciudad de Mexico HYROX event, ranking in the top 6% of 905 athletes and the top 10% of his age group. His overall time was 01:17:08, which is impressive considering the challenging nature of the race. Mariano's total running time was 00:36:42, which was 02:15 faster than average. This suggests that Mariano is primarily a runner, with his best running lap being a commendable 00:04:02.

However, in the early stages of the race, particularly Running 1, Mariano seemed to start slower than the average, possibly in an attempt to conserve energy for later stages. His performance significantly improved in Running 2, 3, 4, and 6, where he outpaced the average times, indicating a strong recovery and pacing strategy.

Segments to Improve:

• Wall Balls: Mariano's Wall Balls segment was significantly slower than average, with a time of 00:06:59, which is 01:18 slower than average. To improve in this area, Mariano should incorporate more functional strength training into his routine, specifically focusing on squatting and pressing movements. Exercises such as wall ball shots, kettlebell swings, and medicine ball slams could be beneficial. Practicing the correct form and technique in these exercises will help to improve efficiency and speed in this segment.
• Roxzone: The Roxzone time was 00:06:24, which was 00:44 slower than average. This suggests that Mariano took longer to recover or transition between exercise zones. To improve his Roxzone performance, Mariano should work on improving his overall fitness and quickening his transition time. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) could be a beneficial addition to his training routine, as it can enhance recovery speed. Additionally, practicing quick transitions between different exercises could also help.
• Rowing: Mariano's rowing time was slower than average, with a time of 00:05:35, which is 00:58 slower than average. To enhance his rowing performance, Mariano should focus on his rowing technique, ensuring efficient use of both upper and lower body strength. Incorporating more rowing intervals into his training, focusing on both speed and endurance, could also be beneficial.

Race Strategies:

Given his strong running performance, Mariano should continue to leverage this strength in future races. He should aim to maintain a consistent pace throughout the running segments to avoid early burnout. For the exercise segments, focusing on maintaining a steady rhythm and correct form could help improve both speed and efficiency.

Additionally, practicing transitions between running and exercise segments could help decrease his Roxzone time. This could involve doing a few transition drills, such as transitioning between rowing and running, or wall balls and running, during his training sessions.

Finally, incorporating more strength training and specific exercise training (like wall balls and rowing) into his routine could help improve his overall time and performance in future HYROX events.
