Ruleva Tatiana Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Tatiana, you tackled the 2024 Stockholm Hyrox with determination and grit, finishing with a solid overall time of 01:26:48. You landed in the top 37% overall and top 39% in your age group, which is nothing to sneeze at! Your Total Running Time of 00:41:52 shows that you have a runner's profile, being 02:39 faster than average. Your best running lap of 00:04:48 is impressive, but let’s take a step back and think about pacing. It seems you came out of the gate a bit too fast during the initial running segments, which can lead to fatigue later in the race. You hit a 00:04:43 in Running 1, which is a solid effort, but you might want to dial it back a notch next time to conserve some energy for those later zones! Remember, it's not a sprint; it’s a Hyrox! 💪

Segments to Improve:

Now, let’s dig into the segments that need some attention. Here’s where you can turn weaknesses into strengths:

• Wall Balls (00:06:02) - This was your slowest segment, and it’s essential to nail this for overall endurance and recovery. Focus on your form; ensure you’re squatting deep and engaging your core. A suggestion would be to practice sets of wall balls in intervals: 20 reps followed by a 30-second rest, and gradually reduce the rest time.
• Sandbag Lunges (00:05:36) - Your time here indicates a need for strength and stability. Incorporate lunges into your routine at least twice a week. Try adding weights to your lunges or doing walking lunges with a twist to engage your core. Aim for 4 sets of 10-15 reps per leg, and keep your posture tall to avoid fatigue.
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:06:36) - A full minute slower than average shows this segment needs some love. Incorporate burpee drills into your training. Start with 5 burpees, then 5 broad jumps, and repeat for 5 rounds. Focus on explosive movements and maintaining a steady rhythm.
• Farmers Carry (00:02:51) - Being 40 seconds slower than average indicates that grip strength and overall core stability might be lacking. Work on your grip strength with exercises like dead hangs and farmer’s carries, aiming for heavier weights over time. Also, add in some core stability drills like planks for a stronger carry.

Consider incorporating these focus areas into a structured training plan, dedicating at least two days a week to work on these segments. Consistency is critical, and remember, “It’s not about the pace; it’s about the race!”

Race Strategies:

During your next race, here are some strategies to implement:

• Pacing: Start with a more conservative pace during the first run. You want to feel strong and fresh heading into your first strength segment, not gasping for air!
• Transition Time: Work on your transition drills. Set up a mini course and practice moving from one exercise to the next with minimal downtime. Aim to make it feel like a seamless flow—like a dance, but without the sequins!
• Mindset: Keep reminding yourself of your goals throughout the race. Use visualization techniques before the race to imagine yourself crushing each segment. Remember, “It’s not about who you were yesterday. It’s about who you can become today.”

Conclusion:

Tatiana, you’ve got the heart of a lion and the legs of a gazelle! 🦁 Your strengths in running are evident, and with some focused work on those segments that slowed you down, you’ll be unstoppable. Keep pushing your limits, stay consistent with your training, and remember to enjoy the journey. You’ve come so far, and this is just the beginning!
