Overall Performance
Jordan Herd, a fitness athlete in the 40-44 age group, competed well in the 2024 Manchester HYROX event. With an overall rank of 735 amongst 1203 athletes, Jordan falls within the top 61% of participants. Within his age group, he ranked 97 out of 169 athletes, placing him in the top 57%. Despite falling behind the average total running time by 01:39, Jordan showcased commendable strength in the 'Sled Push' and 'Sandbag Lunges' segments, where he was faster than average. His performance in the roxzone was also notable, with a time 00:53 faster than average indicating good overall fitness and quick transition times. However, Jordan's initial pacing seemed too fast, as indicated by the time in 'Running 1' being 00:35 faster than average. This could have led to slower times in the subsequent running segments.
Segments to Improve
Run Total: Jordan's overall running time was slower than average. To improve this, he could incorporate more interval training into his routine to increase his speed and endurance. For example, running 400m intervals with 90 seconds of rest in between each, gradually decreasing the rest period over time, could help enhance his running performance.
Sled Pull: Jordan was slower in this segment. To enhance his sled pull abilities, he could include more strength-training exercises in his regimen. Specifically, exercises that target the back, shoulders, and arms such as deadlifts, rows, and pull-ups would be beneficial. It could also be useful to practice the sled pull motion with resistance bands.
Burpees Broad Jump: This segment was another area of relative weakness. To improve, Jordan could focus on plyometric exercises like box jumps and squat jumps to increase his explosive power. Additionally, practicing the burpee movement pattern - from the push-up position to the jump - could help him become more efficient in this exercise.
Farmers Carry: Jordan was slightly slower than average here. Incorporating grip-strengthening exercises, such as wrist curls and pinch grips, could improve his performance in this area. Also, practicing the farmer's carry with varying weights could help him become more accustomed to the movement and increase his speed.
Race Strategies
Moving forward, Jordan could benefit from a more conservative initial pacing strategy to preserve energy for the later stages of the race. Focusing on maintaining a consistent speed during the running segments can help improve his overall running time. Additionally, working on transition times between exercises could also shave off valuable seconds from his overall time. Finally, incorporating more strength training could help improve his performance in higher strength-demanding segments like the sled pull and farmer's carry.
