Overall Performance
Helen Mackellar delivered a strong performance in the 2024 Amsterdam Hyrox event, securing an overall rank of 768 and ranking in the top 25% of her age group. Her total running time of 00:49:33 suggests a runner profile, as it was 03:26 faster than average, indicating superior endurance and running efficiency. However, Helen started the race at a notably fast pace, especially in the first running segment, which can sometimes lead to fatigue in later stages. Her strengths lie in running and certain strength segments like the Sled Push and Sled Pull, while there is noticeable room for improvement in exercises requiring explosive power and endurance, such as the Wall Balls, Burpees Broad Jump, and Sandbag Lunges.
Segments to Improve
- Wall Balls: This segment was a significant area for improvement, with Helen finishing 04:51 slower than average. To enhance performance:
- Technique and Form: Focus on the squat depth and use momentum effectively. Practice with lighter balls to refine form before increasing weight.
- Exercises: Incorporate front squats and thrusters into the routine to build leg and core strength.
- Drills: Perform wall ball pyramids (increasing and decreasing repetitions) to build endurance and power.
- Burpees Broad Jump: Helen was 02:07 slower than average. Improvements can be made by:
- Technique: Focus on explosive power during the jump phase. Land softly to reduce impact and fatigue.
- Exercises: Plyometric drills such as box jumps and tuck jumps to increase explosive strength.
- Drills: Perform EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute) burpees to improve cardiovascular endurance and speed.
- Sandbag Lunges: Finished 01:20 slower than average. Recommendations include:
- Technique: Maintain an upright posture and ensure the knee tracks over the toes to prevent injury and improve efficiency.
- Exercises: Bulgarian split squats and weighted walking lunges to enhance balance and leg strength.
- Drills: Include sandbag carry intervals to simulate race conditions and improve grip strength.
Race Strategies
- Pacing: Begin the race at a steady pace, avoiding the urge to start too fast. Consider even pacing throughout the race to maintain energy levels.
- Transition Efficiency: Practice quick transitions between segments to minimize time spent in the roxzone. Simulate race conditions in training to become more comfortable with transitions.
- Compromised Running: Train for compromised running scenarios where running follows a strength exercise. This can be achieved by performing short running intervals immediately after strength workouts to mimic race fatigue.
- Nutrition and Hydration: Ensure a well-planned nutrition and hydration strategy pre-race and during the event to maintain energy levels and prevent cramping.
