Boselli Mattia Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Mattia Boselli completed the 2024 Milan Hyrox race with an impressive overall time of 01:33:02, placing him in the top 55% of all participants and top 61% in his age group. His total running time of 00:40:52 was notably faster than the average by 05:26, suggesting a strong runner profile. However, he started the race slightly slower than average, as indicated by his 00:57 slower performance in Running 1 but quickly gained momentum, achieving significantly faster times in subsequent running segments. This pattern suggests Mattia may have conserved energy initially before leveraging his running strength. His strength performance, particularly in exercises requiring substantial upper body and core engagement, lags behind his running capability, indicating the need for targeted strength training.

Segments to Improve

• Wall Balls (00:09:19, 02:05 slower than average)

  Mattia's performance in wall balls was among the slowest. To enhance performance, focus on improving shoulder endurance and explosive power.

  • Drills and Techniques:
  • Practice with lighter medicine balls to perfect form and increase reps gradually.
  • Incorporate plyometric exercises such as box jumps and squat jumps to boost explosive power.
  • Strengthen shoulder endurance with exercises like overhead presses and lateral raises.
• Roxzone (00:09:10, 01:33 slower than average)

  The slower Roxzone time suggests a need to improve transition efficiency and overall fitness.

  • Drills and Techniques:
  • Practice quick transitions between exercises in training sessions to mimic race conditions.
  • Enhance overall fitness with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to boost cardiovascular endurance and reduce transition times.
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:07:12, 01:18 slower than average)

  Improving agility and explosive leg power will help reduce time in this segment.

  • Drills and Techniques:
  • Perform plyometric drills such as burpees with tuck jumps to increase power.
  • Incorporate agility ladder drills to enhance quickness and coordination.
• Sandbag Lunges (00:06:07, 00:32 slower than average)

  Focus on increasing lower body strength and endurance.

  • Drills and Techniques:
  • Incorporate weighted lunges and step-ups into training to build strength.
  • Use resistance bands for additional challenges during lunges to improve stability.
• Sled Pull (00:05:50, 00:26 slower than average)

  Enhance upper body strength and grip endurance to improve sled pull performance.

  • Drills and Techniques:
  • Engage in resistance training focusing on back and biceps, such as pull-ups and rows.
  • Utilize grip strengtheners or farmer's carries to improve grip endurance.

Race Strategies

• Implement a more consistent pacing strategy across all running segments to avoid slower starts.
• Focus on maintaining energy reserves for strength-based exercises by establishing a steady rhythm in running segments.
• Plan transitions effectively by visualizing and rehearsing each Roxzone transition to minimize downtime.
• Adopt a balanced training routine that addresses both running and strength, ensuring improved performance in strength-oriented segments without sacrificing running efficiency.
