Anibaba Rilwan Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Rilwan, you crushed it out there in London! Finishing with an overall time of 01:05:32 puts you in the top 3% of all athletes and top 4% in your age group. That’s no small feat! Your total running time of 00:32:04, which is a minute and a half faster than average, showcases your strong running profile. You’re a runner at heart, and it shows! However, it looks like you might have started a bit too slowly in Running 1, which set the tone for the early part of the race—giving you a 60 percentile rank there. But hey, it’s all about pacing, right? Remember, slow and steady might win the race, but a little urgency never hurt anyone. Keep that fire burning! 🔥

Segments to Improve:

Now, let’s dive into those segments that could use a little extra TLC to turn them into your strengths:

• Sled Push (00:03:19): Your sled push was 01:00 slower than average, placing you in the 69th percentile. This indicates a need for strength and technique refinement. To improve, focus on:
• Heavy Sled Drags: Incorporate sled drags in your routine with increasing weights. Aim for 4 sets of 30 meters at max effort, resting 1-2 minutes in between.
• Squat Variations: Back squats and front squats will build the leg strength needed. Target 3-4 sets of 6-8 reps to failure.
• Pushing Technique: Work on your sled push form. Keep your body low, drive through your heels, and ensure your hips are engaged.
• Farmers Carry (00:02:03): This was 00:22 slower than average (40th percentile). Strengthening grip and core stability is key here. Try:
• Farmers Walks: Load up weights that challenge you and walk for 30-40 meters. Aim for 4 sets, progressively increasing the weight.
• Deadlifts: Incorporate conventional and trap bar deadlifts to build overall strength. 3-4 sets of 6-8 reps will work wonders.
• Core Work: Planks and side planks will help improve stability. Hold for 30-60 seconds, 3 sets each.
• Sled Pull (00:03:46): At 00:10 slower than average (13th percentile), this is another strength area. Implement:
• Sled Pulls: Use a harness or rope to pull a sled. Focus on explosive pulls for 30 meters, repeating for 4 sets.
• Lat Pulldowns: Strengthen your back and arms with 3-4 sets of 8-10 reps.
• Rowing Machine Intervals: Incorporate high-intensity intervals to build your pulling power.
• Sandbag Lunges (00:03:47): This segment was 00:12 slower than average (10th percentile). For improvement:
• Weighted Lunges: Perform forward and reverse lunges with a sandbag or dumbbells. Aim for 3-4 sets of 8-10 reps per leg.
• Mobility Work: Focus on hip flexor and hamstring stretches to enhance your range of motion.
• Explosive Lunges: Incorporate jump lunges to build power and endurance.

Race Strategies:

To optimize your performance in future races, consider these strategies:

• Pacing: Start strong but controlled. Aim to hit your target splits more consistently. Remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint!
• Transitions: Your Roxzone time of 00:04:51 was 27 seconds slower than average. Work on transitioning faster. Practice moving quickly from one exercise to the next during training.
• Breathing Techniques: Utilize breathing techniques during intense segments to maintain oxygen flow and reduce fatigue.

Conclusion:

Rilwan, you’re already in the top 4%—that’s a badge of honor! But remember, the path to greatness is paved with continuous improvement. The only easy day was yesterday, and every workout is a chance to get one step closer to your goals. So keep pushing, embrace the grind, and remember: you’re capable of more than you think. As Goggins would say, “You are not going to die, you just have to dig deeper.” 💪🏆

Now, let’s get to work on those sled pulls and farmers carries! It’s time to turn those weaknesses into strengths and show them what you’re made of! The Rox-Coach is here to guide you every step of the way! 💥
