Cleuet Antoine Hyrox Result

Overall Performance

Antoine Cleuet showcased a solid performance in the 2024 Perth Hyrox race, finishing in the top 38% overall and the top 48% in his age group. His total running time was 2:06 faster than the average, indicating a strong runner profile. Antoine's performance in running segments consistently outpaced the average, except for Running 1, suggesting he might have started too slow. His strength segments were mixed, with exceptional performances in the Sled Push and Farmers Carry, but weaker results in the Burpees Broad Jump and Wall Balls.

Segments to Improve

• Roxzone: Antoine spent 2:02 longer than average in the Roxzone, indicating a need for improved transition efficiency. Training Strategy: Focus on high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to enhance overall fitness and simulate race transitions. Practice quick transitions between different exercises during training sessions.
• Burpees Broad Jump: This segment was 1:33 slower than average. Training Strategy: Improve explosive power and endurance with plyometric exercises like box jumps and burpee variations. Incorporate circuit training that combines burpees with running to adapt to compromised running scenarios.
• Wall Balls: This segment was 1:18 slower than average. Training Strategy: Focus on improving leg strength and endurance with exercises like squats and thrusters. Practice wall ball shots to refine technique, ensuring proper squat depth and efficient ball release.
• Rowing: Antoine was 14 seconds slower than average. Training Strategy: Enhance rowing technique and efficiency with sessions on the rowing machine focusing on form, stroke rate, and power application. Combine rowing intervals with running to simulate race conditions.
• Ski Erg: This segment was 11 seconds slower than average. Training Strategy: Work on building upper body strength and endurance with exercises like pull-ups and tricep extensions. Include Ski Erg intervals in workouts, focusing on consistent pacing and power throughout.

Race Strategies

• Start Pace: Focus on maintaining a consistent pace from the beginning to avoid starting too slow, as seen in Running 1. Consider a warm-up routine that simulates race start intensity to better gauge optimal starting speed.
• Transition Efficiency: Enhance transition times by practicing quick movements between exercise zones. Implement drills that require rapid equipment setup and breakdown to minimize Roxzone duration.
• Compromised Running: Train for running segments that follow high-intensity exercises, as they require adaptation to fatigue. Use brick workouts (e.g., running followed by burpees) to prepare for the transition between strength and endurance demands.
• Nutrition and Hydration: Ensure a well-planned nutrition strategy leading up to and during the race to maintain energy levels, particularly before strength-heavy segments like the Wall Balls.
