Overall Performance

Benji Houghton delivered a commendable performance in the 2024 Melbourne Hyrox race, ranking in the top 40% overall and the top 44% in his age group. His overall time of 01:31:23 reflects a balanced approach, with a particular strength in running segments, as indicated by his total running time of 00:43:25, which is 02:04 faster than the average. Notably, Benji’s early running splits suggest he maintained an optimal pace, not starting too fast or too slow. His strong runner profile suggests an area of strength, while his performance in strength-based exercises like the Sandbag Lunges and Burpees Broad Jump indicates room for improvement.

Segments to Improve

  • Sandbag Lunges: This segment was significantly slower than average, indicating a need for improved strength and endurance. Focus on building leg strength and stability through exercises such as weighted lunges, Bulgarian split squats, and step-ups. To mimic race conditions, incorporate compromised running drills, where you perform a set of lunges followed by a short run.
  • Roxzone: The transition times can be optimized. Practice efficient transitions by setting up a mini course at home or at the gym, focusing on quick equipment changes and minimizing rest time. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) can enhance overall fitness, reducing the need for rest.
  • Burpees Broad Jump: Improve explosive power with plyometric exercises such as box jumps and tuck jumps. Work on burpee technique by ensuring a smooth transition from the squat to the jump phase, maintaining core engagement and minimizing time on the ground.
  • Wall Balls: While only slightly slower than average, enhancing shoulder endurance and power can be beneficial. Include exercises like overhead presses and wall ball throws in your training. Focus on breathing techniques and maintaining a steady rhythm to reduce fatigue.
  • Sled Pull: Work on upper body and core strength with exercises like bent-over rows and planks. Practice sled pulls with varying weights to build both power and endurance.

Race Strategies

  • Pacing: Continue to maintain a balanced pace throughout the race, leveraging your strong running ability to make up time between strength segments.
  • Energy Management: Strategically manage your energy reserves by not overexerting during the initial stages. Pay close attention to hydration and nutrition leading up to and during the race to maintain optimal performance levels.
  • Efficient Transitions: Practice transitions regularly to reduce time spent in the Roxzone. Streamline your approach to each exercise, focusing on mental preparation and executing each movement with precision.
  • Compromised Running: Incorporate compromised running scenarios into training, where you perform a strength exercise followed immediately by a running segment, to mimic race conditions and improve endurance.
