López Chavira Alonso Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Alonso López Chavira has demonstrated a strong performance in the 2024 Ciudad de Mexico Hyrox race, ranking in the top 7% of both overall competitors and his age group. His overall time was 01:18:08, which is impressive given the challenging nature of the race. However, there are some areas where he could improve, particularly in terms of his running time and some specific split times.

Alonso’s total running time was 01:21 slower than the average. This indicates that although he has a strong overall fitness level, he could benefit from more focused running training. His pacing varied throughout the race, as he started slower on Running 1, but then was faster than average on Running 2, Running 3, and Running 4. This suggests he might have started the race too slowly, and he could benefit from a more aggressive start in future races.

His strengths clearly lie in the strength segments, as evidenced by his impressive times in the Sled Push, Farmers Carry, and Wall Balls. This suggests that he has a strength-driven profile, but he can become a more balanced athlete with focused running training.

Segments to Improve

• Running: Given that Alonso's total running time was slower than average, he should focus on improving his running abilities. Specific drills such as interval training and tempo runs can help improve speed and endurance. To simulate race conditions, Alonso should also practice running after doing strength workouts, as this will help him better manage fatigue during the actual race.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Alonso's time was significantly slower than average in this segment. To improve, he should incorporate more plyometric exercises into his training routine to increase his explosive power. Drills like box jumps and kettlebell swings could be beneficial.
• Sled Pull: Alonso's performance was below average in this segment. He should focus on improving his lower body strength and endurance, particularly his hamstrings and glutes. Resistance training exercises such as deadlifts and lunges can be helpful.
• Roxzone: Alonso was slightly faster than average in this segment, but there is still room for improvement. He should work on minimizing rest time and improving his transition speed between exercises. This could include practicing quick transitions between different exercises during training.

Race Strategies

In order to improve his overall performance, Alonso should consider implementing the following strategies:

• Start Strong: Alonso started slower than average on Running 1. In future races, he should consider starting at a faster pace to avoid having to make up time later in the race.
• Focus on Transitions: The Roxzone time suggests that Alonso could benefit from faster transitions between exercises. He should practice quickly moving from one exercise to the next during training to minimize rest time during the actual race.
• Balance Running and Strength: Given that Alonso's strength lies in the strength segments, he should focus on maintaining his performance in these areas while also improving his running ability. This will help him become a more balanced athlete and improve his overall race time.
