to determine how quickly the athlete could improve on some stations and where is the path of least resistance to improve Blokland Koen's time.
The percentile rank is the current position of the athlete compared to the competition. It goes from 0 to 100, where 0 is the best and 100 is the worst.
It show the potential improvement for each station. The athlete should focus on the stations with the highest potential improvement and the biggest duration.
A big improvement in the Farmer's carry station will not be as impactful as a small improvement in the wall ball station for instance.

Overall Performance:
Koen Blokland's performance in the 2024 Rotterdam HYROX race positions him solidly in the middle of the pack, with a strong showing in strength-based segments but with room for improvement in running and transition times. His overall rank places him in the top 48% of all athletes and the top 44% within his age group, indicating a competitive edge yet highlighting specific areas for development. The total running time being slower than average suggests Koen has a stronger profile in strength exercises rather than running. His pacing appears to start strong but slows in later running segments, indicating potential issues with stamina or pacing strategy.
Segments to Improve:
- Running Segments: Koen's running times consistently lag behind the average, particularly noticeable in the final segments. To improve, focus on interval training to boost VO2 max and enhance endurance. Incorporate tempo runs, hill sprints, and long-distance runs at a controlled pace into the weekly training schedule. Practicing running on fatigued legs, such as after strength workouts, can simulate race conditions and improve performance in later running segments.
- Roxzone (Transition Times): Slightly slower transitions indicate a need for improved overall fitness and efficiency in switching between exercises. Incorporate circuit training with minimal rest between sets to mimic race conditions. Practice specific transitions between strength exercises and running to reduce hesitation and improve muscle memory for smoother switches.
- Sled Pull: While already a strength for Koen, there's room for improvement. Enhance grip strength and pulling power through deadlifts, farmer's walks, and rowing exercises. Focus on explosive starts and maintaining a consistent pace.
- Farmers Carry: To improve grip strength and endurance, integrate heavier farmer's walks into training, focus on core stability exercises, and use grip strengtheners. Practicing under simulated race conditions, like performing carries after a running segment, can also help.
- Ski Erg: To cut down time, work on improving technique and power output. Incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on the Ski Erg, focusing on powerful, efficient strokes and maintaining a strong, upright posture to maximize efficiency.
Race Strategies:
- Start Conservatively: Given the tendency to slow down in later running segments, adopting a more conservative start can help preserve energy for a stronger finish. Focus on maintaining a steady pace in the initial runs and gradually increase intensity.
- Strength Before Speed: Leverage Koen's strength advantage by focusing on maintaining momentum and efficiency during strength segments. This approach can compensate for slower running times by maximizing performance where Koen is strongest.
- Smooth Transitions: Practice quick and efficient transitions between exercises. Reduce rest times in the Roxzone by setting up a precise routine for moving from one segment to the next, including the layout of equipment and the order of operations for switching gear.
- Mid-Race Check-ins: Implement mid-race strategy adjustments based on performance and fatigue levels. For example, if Koen is ahead of his expected pace and feeling strong, he can slightly increase his running pace in the middle segments or push harder on strength exercises where he has a competitive edge.
By focusing on these targeted improvements and strategic adjustments, Koen can capitalize on his strengths while elevating his weaker segments, potentially achieving a higher overall rank in future HYROX races.
