Chew Ryan Performance Analysis

Overall Performance:

Ryan, you crushed it out there in Hong Kong! Finishing with an overall time of 01:33:11 puts you in the top 19% of 2712 athletes. Not too shabby for a Sunday stroll, right? 😏 Your total running time of 00:45:06 is impressively faster than average—definitely showcasing your runner profile. However, we can see that while you started strong, your pacing fluctuated a bit, particularly in the later running segments. It looks like you might have gone out a bit too hot during the first run. While it's great to start with a bang, it’s all about maintaining that pace for the long haul. Keep in mind: "The race is not always to the swift, but to those who keep on running." 🏃‍♂️💨

Segments to Improve:

• Wall Balls: 00:08:15 (79th Percentile)

Your Wall Balls could use some love. This segment took a toll on your overall performance. To improve, focus on technique and endurance. Try this:

• 3 sets of 15-20 Wall Balls with a focus on consistent depth and explosive upward motion.
• Incorporate Tabata-style workouts for Wall Balls, alternating 20 seconds of work with 10 seconds of rest for 8 rounds. This will help build stamina!
• Roxzone: 00:07:40 (54th Percentile)

Your Roxzone time indicates you may have spent a tad too long in transition. To speed things up:

• Practice transitioning between exercises as if you were in the race. Set a timer and aim for a certain time for each transition.
• Work on your overall fitness to ensure you're less fatigued when you hop from one exercise to another.
• Sandbag Lunges: 00:05:55 (67th Percentile)

Sandbag Lunges can be a real leg burner! To improve your time here:

• Perform weighted lunges with a focus on form. Try 3 sets of 10 lunges per leg, gradually increasing weight.
• Integrate lunges into your cardio sessions to simulate fatigue from running before hitting this exercise.
• Sled Push: 00:03:25 (63rd Percentile)

Sled Pushes can feel like pushing a bus uphill. To make it easier on yourself:

• Include high-intensity interval training (HIIT) focusing on sled pushes. Alternate between short bursts of effort and rest.
• Work on core stability through planks and rotational exercises to help you maintain form during pushes.
• Burpees Broad Jump: 00:05:42 (44th Percentile)

This segment can be a killer, but improving your efficiency can save you time:

• Practice Burpees with broad jumps in sets, gradually increasing the number while maintaining form.
• Focus on explosive movements with box jumps and plyometric drills to enhance your power.
• Rowing: 00:05:12 (81st Percentile)

Rowing can feel like a leisurely paddle until you reach a Hyrox race! To up your game:

• Incorporate rowing intervals into your workouts, aiming for shorter, high-intensity sessions.
• Focus on technique—proper form can greatly increase efficiency and speed.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing: Start strong but aim to find a sustainable pace early on. Consider a negative split strategy where you aim to run the second half faster than the first.
• Transition Practice: Simulate race conditions in training to improve your transition times. Time yourself and aim to beat your best.
• Hydration and Nutrition: Stay hydrated and consider your nutrition before the race. A well-fueled body performs better.
• Mindset: Stay positive throughout the race. Remember, “Pain is temporary; pride is forever.” Keep pushing through those tough moments!
