Crossland Tommy Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Tommy, you crushed the 2024 Marseille Hyrox race! Finishing with an overall time of 01:16:45 places you in the top 32% of 1504 athletes, which is no small feat! Your total running time of 00:37:28 is impressive, coming in 01:13 faster than average. This indicates that you have a solid runner's profile, which is a significant advantage in Hyrox. The best part? Your pacing strategy had its ups and downs. While you started a bit slower on the first running segment (00:05:47), you gained momentum as the race progressed, showcasing your ability to find your rhythm. However, the slower start may have cost you some valuable seconds that could have been used to push your overall rank even higher.

Segments to Improve:

• Burpees Broad Jump (00:05:23): This segment was 52 seconds slower than average. It’s crucial to work on your explosive power and coordination. Try incorporating plyometric drills like box jumps and tuck jumps into your training. Aim for 3-4 sets of 8-10 reps with a focus on landing softly for joint health. Also, practice the transitions between burpees and jumps to build muscle memory and efficiency.
• Sled Push (00:03:07): A 30-second deficit here suggests that your push technique may need refining. Focus on strengthening your legs and core with heavy squats and lunges. When training, simulate the sled push by performing a heavy sled drag with emphasis on maintaining a low posture. Aim for 4 sets of 20 meters with a heavy load, resting adequately between sets.
• Sled Pull (00:04:37): Coming in 16 seconds slower than average indicates that your pulling strength could use some work. Incorporate lat pull-downs and seated rows into your routine, focusing on engaging your back muscles. Pair this with sled drags to enhance overall pulling strength. Aim for 3 sets of 10-12 reps on the machines plus 4 pulls of 20 meters with moderate weight.
• Farmers Carry (00:02:13): You were 15 seconds slower than average here. Improve your grip strength and core stability with farmer's walks — pick a challenging weight and walk for 30-45 seconds. Repeat for 4 sets. You can also add heavy deadlifts to build the overall strength needed for this segment.

Race Strategies:

During the race, pacing is key. Since you know you’re a stronger runner, utilize this to your advantage by starting conservatively on the first running segment. Avoid the temptation to sprint right out of the gate; instead, find a sustainable pace that allows you to recover quickly between exercises. Use the transitions to your advantage; every second counts! Focus on keeping your heart rate in check to prevent burnout.

When approaching the tougher segments like the sled pushes and pulls, visualize yourself completing them with power and focus. Remember, “The only thing standing between you and your goal is the story you keep telling yourself.” – Jordan Belfort. Keep that mindset in the zone. And when you hit those burpees, think of them as ‘burpee breaks’ — the only time you get to take a seat on the ground! 😂

Conclusion:

Overall, Tommy, you’re on the right track! Your strong running profile is a fantastic asset, and with targeted training on those weaker segments, you can elevate your performance even further. Remember, it's not about being the best; it's about being better than you were yesterday. Keep pushing your limits, and don’t forget to enjoy the process! 💪💥

Consistency and dedication will turn those areas of improvement into your new strengths. As you continue training, visualize yourself smashing those segments and crossing the finish line with a time that will make your competition think twice! Now go out there and show them what you’re made of! 🏆
