Overall Performance
Marc Simmonds demonstrated an excellent performance in the 2024 Dublin HYROX event, placing in the top 11% of all athletes and ranking within the top 14% of his age group. His overall time was 01:13:37, a commendable effort for the challenging race. The most notable aspect of Marc's performance was his strong running ability, with a total running time of 00:35:08, which is 02:13 faster than the average time. Furthermore, his best running lap time was an impressive 00:03:34.
In terms of pacing, Marc started the race exceptionally well, completing his first run 01:31 faster than the average. However, his speed seemed to decline in later running stages, suggesting that he could benefit from a more consistent pace throughout the race. His overall performance suggests that he is more of a runner than a strength athlete, as evidenced by his relatively faster running times compared to his performance in strength-based segments.
Segments to Improve
- Burpees Broad Jump: This was Marc's weakest segment, with a time of 00:05:54, which is 01:40 slower than average. To improve, Marc should focus on plyometric exercises to increase explosiveness and speed. Drills such as box jumps and speed skaters can help in this regard. Also, improving the form of burpees could lead to a quicker execution.
- Sandbag Lunges: Another area of improvement is the sandbag lunges segment. Marc's time was 01:22 slower than the average. Incorporating more lunges into his strength and conditioning training, particularly weighted lunges, can improve his performance in this area. Also, exercises to enhance grip strength, such as farmers walks or deadlifts, would be beneficial.
- Sled Pull and Sled Push: Marc's performance in these strength-based segments was below average. To improve, he should incorporate more sled work into his training regimen. Specific drills, such as high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with the sled, could improve his speed and strength in these segments.
- Farmers Carry: Marc's performance in this segment was slower than average. Increasing his grip strength would be beneficial, as would incorporating more farmer's carry exercises into his training routine.
Race Strategies
Going forward, Marc should consider implementing a more consistent pacing strategy during races. Starting strong is essential, but maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race could prevent performance drop-off in later stages. Additionally, considering his strength as a runner, he could strategically conserve energy during strength-based segments to ensure he can maximise his running performance. Prioritising recovery strategies, such as proper nutrition and rest, will also be key to improving his transition times between exercise zones.
