Berisha Edison Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Edison, you put in a solid performance at the 2024 London Hyrox, finishing with a time of 01:24:23, ranking 1092 overall out of 2309 athletes. You're in the top 47%, which is commendable! Your total running time was 00:38:41, which is 03:33 faster than the average—clearly, you have a runner's profile! However, your pacing in the first running segment (00:06:15) was noticeably slower than average, which might have set you back a bit. It seems you started a bit too conservatively, causing you to lose time where you could have capitalized on your running strength. The race highlighted your mixed capabilities—you're strong on the run, but we need to sharpen your performance on the strength segments. Overall, you've shown great potential, but let's focus on transforming some of those slower segments into future strengths. 💪

Segments to Improve:

To elevate your performance, we need to specifically address the following segments that held you back:

• Sandbag Lunges (00:06:50): This segment was your slowest, and it indicates a need for increased leg strength and endurance. Consider incorporating weighted lunges, focusing on form and explosive movement. Try doing sets of 10-15 lunges with heavier weights, ensuring you maintain a strong posture throughout.
• Wall Balls (00:07:29): These took significant time due to form and fatigue. To improve, practice your squat depth and explosiveness. Use a lighter ball initially and focus on technique—try sets of 15-20 reps. Aim to do these at the start of your training sessions when you're fresh to simulate race conditions.
• Sled Push (00:03:10): You were 00:18 slower than average. To enhance your sled push, work on building leg power and core stability. Include exercises like squat jumps, deadlifts, and sled drags in your routine. Practice pushing the sled with a focus on speed for shorter distances—think 20-30 meters, resting fully between attempts.
• Sled Pull (00:04:55): This segment was average, but we can make it a strength. Incorporate resistance bands for pulls and practice your form. Consider doing intervals where you sprint 20 meters, perform a pull, and repeat.
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:05:14): This segment needs to be tightened up as well. Focus on explosiveness and rhythm. Try doing sets that alternate between burpees and broad jumps, aiming for 10-15 reps. Keep the tempo high to simulate race conditions and build endurance.

Additionally, your Roxzone time (00:06:53) indicates there's room for improvement in transitions. Work on your overall fitness by incorporating circuit training that includes movements mimicking the transitions you experience in Hyrox. Reduce rest times during training to simulate race pressure.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing: Start with a controlled pace during your first running segment. Aim to hit around 5:30-5:40 per km rather than 6:15. This will help you maintain energy for the latter parts of the race.
• Segment Planning: Visualize each segment before the race. Have a clear plan on how to approach each exercise. For example, before the wall balls, focus on breathing and getting into a rhythm. Mental preparation is key!
• Transition Efficiency: Practice quick transitions during training. Set up mock races where you switch between running and exercises rapidly. Time yourself and aim to reduce that Roxzone time.
• Nutrition and Hydration: Fuel your body adequately before and during the race. A well-timed carb load can be the difference between "I can do this" and "why did I sign up for this?"
