Bergeron Andrew Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Andrew, first off, let me just say that finishing in the top 34% overall and 28% in your age group is no small feat! You’ve got grit, and that’s something to be proud of. Your overall time of 01:28:25 shows that you have a solid foundation in fitness, and your total running time of 00:43:11 being faster than average indicates that you have a runner’s profile—great job! However, we need to talk about pacing. It looks like you started off a bit too slow in Running 1, clocking in at 00:07:47, which is significantly slower than average. This could have set the tone for the rest of the race, leading to some slower segments later on. You managed to pick up the pace in the following runs, especially in Running 2 with a stellar 00:04:51! This tells me you know how to push when needed. But remember, starting strong can set you up for a strong finish. Let’s harness that running talent of yours and work on your strength segments to be a hybrid powerhouse. 💪

Segments to Improve:

• Sandbag Lunges (00:06:31): This was one of your slower segments and where you can make significant gains. To improve, focus on your form and core stability during lunges. Start with bodyweight lunges and progress to weighted lunges. Incorporate a drill where you perform forward lunges for 30 seconds, rest for 15 seconds, then switch to reverse lunges for another 30 seconds. Aim for 5 rounds. Additionally, work on your hip flexor and quad mobility through dynamic stretches before workouts.
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:06:17): This segment also held you back. To tackle the burpee-broad jump combo, practice breaking it down. Start with standard burpees and focus on explosive jumps. Time yourself for 10 burpees followed by 10 broad jumps. Aim for 3 sets. Also, work on your upper body strength with push-ups and pull-ups to enhance your burpee performance. Keeping your core tight will help stabilize your body through the movement.
• Wall Balls (00:07:00): It’s crucial to maintain an explosive motion here. For improvement, practice wall balls with a focus on your squat depth and the height of your throws. Try sets of 15-20 reps, ensuring that your hips drop below parallel and you’re using your legs to drive the ball up. Incorporate front squats into your routine to build leg strength, and don't forget to work on your shoulder endurance with overhead presses.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing: Start strong but stable. Consider aiming for a pace that feels challenging yet sustainable in Running 1. Use your experience to gauge when to push harder during the race.
• Transitions: Your Roxzone time of 00:07:19 is slower than average, indicating room for improvement. Practice quick transitions between exercises during your training. Set up a circuit where you switch between exercises every minute, focusing on getting right into the next movement with minimal downtime.
• Mindset: Stay mentally focused. Visualize your race strategy before the event, and implement breathing techniques to calm nerves. As David Goggins says, "It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey." Embrace every moment! 🏆
