Beebee Josh Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Josh, what a phenomenal effort you put into the 2024 London Hyrox event! Finishing overall ranked 39 out of 4462 athletes, that’s some serious competition you just crushed. You finished in the top 0%, and in your age group, you snagged 8th place, which puts you in the top 5% of 149 athletes. Not too shabby! 🏆

Your overall time of 01:06:15 is impressive, especially considering you were 01:43 faster than average in total running time! You definitely have a runner’s profile, which is great, but it looks like we need to balance that with some more strength training. Your best running lap at 00:03:38 shows you have some serious speed, but we need to ensure that speed translates into power across the board.

Now, looking at your pacing, it seems you started off a bit too slow during Running 1, which cost you some time. But hey, you picked up the pace significantly in Running 2, which is where you really came alive! You should definitely keep that momentum but focus on maintaining a more consistent speed from the get-go so you don’t leave any potential gains on the table.

Segments to Improve:

There are a few segments where you can really work on fine-tuning your performance. Let's break it down:

• Roxzone (00:05:46): This was 01:21 slower than average and ranked 92nd percentile. This is where you can gain a ton of time. The goal here is to minimize downtime and improve transition speed. Consider incorporating the following drills:
• Transition Drills: Practice quick transitions between exercises. Set a timer and see how fast you can move from one segment to the next. Aim for under 30 seconds!
• Overall Fitness: Work on your aerobic capacity with HIIT sessions that mimic race conditions. This will help you reduce the time spent resting.
• Sled Pull (00:04:20): You were 00:44 slower than average here, putting you in the 92nd percentile. This is a great opportunity to build strength. Focus on these exercises:
• Sled Pull Technique: Work on your form by using lighter weights to ensure you’re pulling efficiently. Aim for a smooth and steady pull rather than a strong but erratic one.
• Resistance Training: Incorporate deadlifts and kettlebell swings to build the posterior chain, which is crucial for the sled pull.
• Wall Balls (00:04:42): Only 00:06 slower than average, but still, this is an area where you can get stronger. You're in the 59th percentile, so let’s bring that up:
• Wall Ball Form: Make sure you’re using your legs to drive the ball up, not just your arms. It’s a full-body movement, so engage your core and squat deeper.
• Core Strengthening: Add planks and medicine ball slams to your routine to strengthen your core, which will help with the wall balls.

Race Strategies:

Come race day, strategies can make all the difference. Here are some thoughts:

• Pacing: Start off steady in Running 1. You want to feel like you could maintain this pace for the entire race, not just sprinting off the line.
• Visualize Transitions: Before the race, visualize each transition. This mental prep will make your transitions smoother and faster.
• Stay Hydrated: Don’t forget to hydrate during the race. Sometimes, we forget that a little sip can improve performance significantly.

Conclusion:

Josh, you’ve shown that you have the speed and endurance to compete at a high level, but now it’s time to harness that inner beast and channel it into some serious strength training. Remember, “Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.” 💪

So, keep your head high, put in the training, and let’s work on those weaknesses! With a little dedication and the right strategies, you’ll take your performance to new heights. Now go crush those workouts like they owe you money! 💥
