Rees Bodger Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Bodger, you crushed it out there! Finishing 19th overall and 7th in your age group is no small feat—shoutout to you for being in the top 0% of 2,654 athletes and top 1% of 558 in your category! 🌟 With an overall time of 01:00:59 and a total running time that’s 1:17 faster than average, it’s clear you’ve got some serious speed in those legs. Your best running lap of 00:03:19 is a testament to your running prowess, suggesting you’ve got a solid runner profile. However, let’s talk about pacing—your first running segment was 42 seconds slower than average. It’s like starting a marathon with a sprint; you’ve got to find that sweet spot! The good news? There's plenty of room for improvement, especially in your transitions and a couple of workout segments.

Segments to Improve:

Now, let’s break down those segments that could use a little TLC:

• Wall Balls (00:05:07) - Oof! That’s a tough one. You were 1:04 slower than average and ranked in the 97th percentile. To boost this, focus on:
• Technique Drills: Work on your squat depth and catching the ball at the bottom of the squat. Keep your core tight and drive up through your heels.
• Strength Training: Incorporate goblet squats and thrusters into your routine. Aim for 3 sets of 10-15 reps, focusing on explosive power.
• Interval Training: Try EMOM workouts where you do wall balls every minute on the minute for 10 minutes. This will build endurance and efficiency.
• Roxzone (00:04:57) - A little longer than it should be, 1:09 slower than average puts you in the 77th percentile. To tighten this up:
• Transition Drills: Practice fluid transitions between exercises. Set up a circuit and time how quickly you can move from one to another, aiming to decrease that time each week.
• Overall Fitness: Work on your general fitness with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions. Include a mix of running and bodyweight exercises to keep your heart rate up.
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:03:12) - Just 6 seconds slower than average, but you ranked in the 56th percentile. We can do better:
• Form Focus: Ensure your jump is explosive and your landings are soft. Try practicing burpees with a focus on speed over reps initially.
• Plyometric Training: Add box jumps and broad jumps into your weekly regimen. 3 sets of 8-10 jumps with a strong focus on landing mechanics will help.

Race Strategies:

To improve overall performance in your next race, consider these strategies:

• Pacing: Start your runs at a slightly more conservative pace. You can always push harder later in the race if you’ve saved some energy. Think of it like a marathon, not a sprint!
• Transition Practice: Spend some time practicing transitions between exercises. Make them as smooth as a hot knife through butter. This will help shave off those precious seconds in the Roxzone.
• Nutrition and Hydration: Make sure you’re fueling your body right before the race. Proper hydration and nutrition can be the difference between a good race and a great one!
