Moore Steve Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Steve Moore performed remarkably in the 2024 Manchester HYROX event, ranking in the top 42% of 1203 athletes and top 44% of his age group (35-39). His overall time was 01:18:35, and his total running time was 00:39:23 which was 00:22 faster than the average. Evidently, Steve is a strong runner, as demonstrated by his best running lap time of 00:04:58. His overall running time and running performance in the initial stages of the race indicate that he started the race at a faster pace compared to the average.

Segments to Improve

• Roxzone: Steve's Roxzone time was slower than average, indicating that he rested more or took more time to do the transition. To improve this, Steve should work on improving his transition time. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) can help improve overall fitness and speed up transition time. Drills that mimic the transition between exercises can also be beneficial.
• Sled Pull: The Sled Pull was another area where Steve was slower than average. This could be improved by incorporating more lower body and core strength exercises into his routine such as squats, deadlifts, and planks. He could also practice the sled pull with varying weights to build endurance.
• Run Total: Although Steve is a strong runner, there's still room for improvement in running time. Interval running, hill sprints, and long-distance runs can help improve running speed and endurance.
• Sled Push: Steve's Sled Push was slower than average. Similar to the Sled Pull, this can be improved by incorporating more strength training, particularly targeting the lower body and core. Pushing exercises like push-ups and overhead presses can also help.
• Sandbag Lunges: To improve his time in this segment, Steve should focus on improving his lower body strength and balance. Lunges, squats, and step-ups can be beneficial exercises.
• Wall Balls: Steve's Wall Balls segment was faster than average, but there is still room for improvement. He could incorporate more explosive, full-body movements like kettlebell swings and jump squats into his training.

Race Strategies

Based on his performance, Steve should consider implementing the following strategies during the race:

• Pacing: While Steve's fast start gave him an advantage in the initial stages, he should ensure that he maintains a steady, sustainable pace throughout to avoid early fatigue in later stages. This can be practiced in training by doing longer runs at race pace.
• Strength Training: Given that some of the slower segments involved strength-based exercises, increasing strength training in his routine would be advantageous. This should include a mix of lower body, upper body, and core exercises.
• Transitions: Steve should also work on reducing his transition times. This can be achieved by practicing transitions between exercises during training and improving his overall fitness level.
