Improvement Plan

Based on our analysis, here are the focus areas for improvement. The goal is to determine how quickly the athlete could improve on some stations and where is the path of least resistance to improve his time.

The percentile rank is the current position of the athlete compared to the competition. It goes from 0 to 100, where 0 is the best and 100 is the worst. It show the potential improvement for each station. The athlete should focus on the stations with the highest potential improvement and the biggest duration.

A big improvement in the Farmer's carry station will not be as impactful as a small improvement in the wall ball station for instance. Just click on a station to see how easy it will be to improve and how important it is to focus on it during training.

For this athlete we identified a possible improvement of 05:30. Check the detail of the improvement plan below.

Overall Performance

Merinda Buitendag delivered a commendable performance at the 2024 Sydney Hyrox event, securing an overall rank of 295, placing her in the top 27% of athletes. Within her age group (45-49), she ranked 25th, indicating a competitive edge. Her overall time was 01:44:25, with a particularly strong total running time of 00:52:17, which was 01:00 faster than the average. This suggests Merinda has a runner's profile with a slight advantage in running compared to strength-based exercises. Her pacing strategy seemed balanced at the start, but her performance declined towards the second half of the race, as evidenced by slower times in later running segments and some strength exercises.

Segments to Improve

  • Sandbag Lunges: This segment was significantly slower than average, with a time of 08:30, which was 02:37 slower than average. To improve:
    • Strength Training: Incorporate exercises such as weighted lunges, Bulgarian split squats, and step-ups to build lower body strength.
    • Endurance Drills: Perform lunge circuits with minimal rest between sets to improve muscular endurance.
    • Form Technique: Focus on maintaining an upright posture and ensuring each lunge is deep enough to engage the glutes and quads effectively.
  • Wall Balls: Merinda completed this in 07:36, which was 02:01 slower than average. To enhance performance:
    • Power Training: Integrate plyometric exercises like box jumps and medicine ball slams into workouts to increase explosive power.
    • Technique Improvement: Work on squat depth and ball release timing for more efficient motion.
    • Compromised Running: Practice running immediately after wall ball exercises to simulate race conditions and improve transition efficiency.
  • Running Segments (Late Race): Notably, Running 6, 7, and 8 times were slower compared to earlier segments. Strategies include:
    • Interval Training: Implement high-intensity interval runs focusing on maintaining pace under fatigue.
    • Stamina Building: Long, steady-state runs to build overall endurance.
    • Race Simulation: Perform full Hyrox simulations with a focus on pacing consistency throughout.

Race Strategies

  • Transition Efficiency: Given her Roxzone time was faster than average, maintaining or slightly improving transition speed could further enhance overall performance.
  • Pacing Strategy: Aim for a consistent pace across all running segments. Use the first few segments to gauge overall race effort, adjusting as necessary to avoid drops in pace during later stages.
  • Pre-Race Preparation: Focus on dynamic stretches and warm-ups targeting both running and strength muscles to ensure readiness for both aspects of the race.
