Muhammad Ansari performed commendably in the 2024 Singapore National Stadium Hyrox race, finishing with an overall time of 02:04:03. His overall rank was 814 out of 1325 athletes, placing him in the top 61%, and he ranked 185th in his age group. Notably, his total running time was significantly faster than the average by 7 minutes and 50 seconds, indicating a strong running profile. This suggests that while he excels in running, there is room for improvement in strength-oriented exercises. The pacing analysis shows that he started relatively conservatively in the early running segments, allowing him to perform exceptionally well in the mid-race running segments. However, his transition times in the roxzone indicate that he could enhance his transitions and overall fitness to reduce rest time.

Segments to Improve

• Roxzone: With a time of 00:16:53, which is 5 minutes and 47 seconds slower than average, improving overall fitness and transition efficiency is critical. Training strategies:
  • High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): Incorporate HIIT workouts to enhance cardiovascular fitness and recovery.
  • Transition Drills: Practice quick transitions between different exercises, focusing on minimizing rest time.
• Wall Balls: His performance was 1 minute and 18 seconds slower than average. Training strategies:
  • Wall Ball Technique: Focus on form, keeping a steady rhythm and using legs for propulsion.
