전 호진 Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

호진 전 demonstrated a commendable performance at the 2024 Incheon Hyrox event, finishing with an overall time of 01:46:26 and ranking 214th out of 344 athletes, placing him in the top 62%. His age group ranking was 53rd out of 91, positioning him in the top 58%. A significant highlight was his exceptional running ability, with a total running time of 00:46:40, which was 05:23 faster than the average, indicating a strong runner profile. He consistently outperformed the average in most running splits, particularly in the initial segments, suggesting a tendency to start fast. This may have contributed to slower performance in later strength-intensive segments.

Segments to Improve

• Sled Pull: At 11:33, this segment was 05:15 slower than average. To improve, focus on strength training targeting the upper body and core. Exercises: deadlifts, bent-over rows, and sled pull drills with varying weights to simulate race conditions. Incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to develop endurance and strength simultaneously.
• Sandbag Lunges: With a time of 08:11, this segment was 01:29 slower than average. Improve leg strength and endurance through lunges, squats, and plyometric exercises such as box jumps. Practice lunges with sandbags to enhance specificity. Focus on maintaining form under fatigue, ensuring knee alignment and core stability.
• Roxzone: The transition time was 00:27 slower than average, indicating room for efficiency. Work on transition drills, simulating race conditions to enhance speed and smoothness. Consider incorporating plyometric exercises and agility drills to improve overall fitness and transition efficiency.
• Wall Balls: Completing this segment 00:21 faster than average is good, but there is potential for further improvement. Focus on proper squat form and upper body strength. Exercises: overhead presses, squats, and core strengthening routines.
• Farmers Carry: With a time of 03:10, this was 00:30 slower than average. Improve grip strength and core stability through farmers walk drills, grip strength exercises, and core workouts. Practice carrying variations to build endurance and efficiency.
• Sled Push: Though only slightly slower than average, optimizing leg and core strength can improve this segment. Exercises: leg presses, core workouts, and sled push drills at varied weights and speeds.

Race Strategies

• Balanced Pacing: While starting fast can be advantageous, consider a more balanced pace to conserve energy for strength-intensive segments. Use the initial running advantage to maintain consistency rather than expending excessive energy early on.
• Efficient Transitions: Minimize time in the Roxzone by practicing swift transitions between exercises. Develop a routine for each transition to ensure smooth and quick movement from one segment to the next.
• Compromised Running Training: Incorporate training sessions that simulate running immediately after strength exercises, such as sled pulls and sandbag lunges, to adapt to the physical demands and improve overall race performance.
