Overall Performance
Ben Gleeson made a commendable effort in the 2024 Manchester HYROX race. With an overall rank of 208, he placed in the top 98% of all athletes, and ranked 52 in his age group. While his total running time was slightly slower than average, his performance in the first four running segments suggested a strong start, as he registered faster than average times in these portions. This indicates a high level of running capability and endurance. However, his overall speed seems to wane in the latter half of the race, which may suggest issues with pacing and maintaining consistent energy levels throughout the race. Despite the slower overall running time, his strength in the Ski Erg, Rowing and Farmer's Carry segments indicates a well-rounded athletic profile.
Segments to Improve
Roxzone: Ben's Roxzone time was significantly slower than average, indicating an area of improvement. Enhancing his fitness levels can improve his recovery and transition times. Specific exercises to consider include high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts to boost cardiovascular fitness, as well as practicing transitions between exercises to improve efficiency.
Total Running Time: Although Ben showed strength in the initial running segments, his total running time was slower than average. Incorporating more long-distance runs in his training regime can help improve his endurance and pacing throughout the race. Additionally, interval training could help improve his speed and stamina.
Burpees Broad Jump: Ben's performance in the Burpees Broad Jump segment was slower than average. This could be improved by incorporating more plyometric exercises in his training, such as box jumps and jump squats, to increase power and explosiveness.
Sled Pull and Sandbag Lunges: Even though Ben was slightly faster than average in these segments, there is still room for improvement. To enhance strength and efficiency in these areas, he could incorporate more resistance and functional training, such as deadlifts, squats, and lunges, with varied weights and repetitions.
Race Strategies
In future races, Ben should consider implementing the following strategies for better performance:
Pacing: Start the race at a steady pace and maintain it throughout to conserve energy for the latter half of the race. By not expending all his energy in the early segments, he can improve his overall running time.
Transitions: Minimize rest time between exercises and focus on swift transitions. This can greatly reduce the Roxzone time and improve overall time.
Strength Training: Prioritize strength training equally with running to become a more well-rounded athlete. This will help improve performance in strength-based segments such as the Sled Pull and Sandbag Lunges.
