Tellier Ludo Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Ludo, you tackled the 2024 Hyrox event in Marseille like a champ, finishing with an overall time of 01:34:13 and ranking among the top 77% of all participants. That’s solid, especially in a competitive field of 1,504 athletes! Your total running time of 00:42:28 is a standout—4:05 faster than average—showing you’ve got a runner’s edge. It looks like you’ve got those legs trained to fly! However, your pacing in the first running segment was a bit off, coming in 01:41 slower than average. This may have set the tone for some of your performance in the strength segments, which is crucial in a hybrid race like Hyrox. Your profile suggests you’re more of a runner than a strength athlete, which is great! But let’s balance that out with some serious strength training to elevate your overall performance. Remember, “You are not your thoughts; you are your actions.” Let’s turn those actions into results! 💪

Segments to Improve:

Here’s where we dig into the specifics of where you can turn weaknesses into strengths. The following segments showed the most potential for improvement:

• Wall Balls (00:09:03) - This took a heavy toll on your time. Aim to concentrate on your form: keep your core tight, and focus on driving through your legs. Start with lighter weights to perfect your technique before ramping up.
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:07:23) - A little slower than average here. Practice explosive movements with focus on speed and efficiency. Try doing sets of burpees followed immediately by broad jumps to simulate race conditions.
• Sled Pull (00:06:43) - This segment can be a real game-changer. Incorporate resistance training, like banded pulls and sled work, into your routine. Aim for shorter, intense pulls to build strength-endurance.
• Sled Push (00:03:45) - Work on your leg drive and core stability. Include low-rep, high-weight sled pushes in your workouts. Don’t be shy; make friends with the sled—it’s tough love! 😅
• Farmers Carry (00:02:39) - Improve grip strength and core stability. Use heavier weights and go for longer distances. Consider incorporating single-arm carries to create imbalance and challenge your core even more.

Incorporate these exercises into your weekly routine and aim for high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that mimics race conditions. For example, alternate between running sprints and strength exercises with minimal rest in between for maximal gains.

Race Strategies:

During the race, pacing is everything. Start strong but avoid the temptation to sprint out of the gate. Focus on maintaining a consistent pace in the first running segment to preserve your energy for the strength exercises. Remember, “Discipline equals freedom.” Control your pace, and you’ll control your race!

• Transition times are also crucial. Practice your transitions between exercises in training to become more efficient in the Roxzone. Aim for smoother, quicker shifts to keep your heart rate up and momentum going.
• Stay mentally focused during the strength segments. Visualize success and keep reminding yourself of your goals. A positive mindset can be your greatest ally, especially when fatigue sets in!
• Don’t forget to hydrate and fuel properly before and during the race. A well-fueled athlete is a fierce athlete!

Conclusion:

Ludo, you’ve got an incredible foundation to build on. With your running profile, you’ve proven you can cover the ground quickly, but now it’s time to get that strength up to match your speed. “It’s not about being the best; it’s about being better than you were yesterday.” Keep that mindset, stay focused, and don’t shy away from the hard work that will push you closer to your goals. Remember, every rep is a step closer to greatness! 🏆💥

Now, go out there and crush it! As I always say, “Embrace the suck,” because that’s where the magic happens! You’ve got this, Ludo! The Rox-Coach is cheering you on all the way!
