Reedijk Marnix Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Marnix, you put on a solid show at the 2024 Stockholm Hyrox! Finishing with a time of 01:27:12 puts you in the top 57% overall and top 55% in your age group. Nicely done! Your total running time of 00:41:52 is impressive and shows that you’re more of a runner in this Hyrox arena, being 01:34 faster than the average. However, your pacing had some peaks and valleys. Starting a bit slower in the first running segment cost you some precious seconds. But hey, at least you didn’t sprint out like you were late for a meeting! You’ve got a nice hybrid profile, but there are areas where we can crank up the intensity and turn those weaknesses into strengths.

Segments to Improve:

• Burpees Broad Jump: You clocked in at 00:06:30, which is a whole 01:04 slower than average. This segment can be a real game-changer. Start incorporating explosive drills like box jumps and burpee box jump overs into your routine. Aim for 3 sets of 10 reps, focusing on speed and form. Additionally, practice your transitions to keep that heart rate up and minimize downtime.
• Sled Pull: Your time here was 00:05:21, which was 00:20 slower than average. To up your sled pull game, focus on heavy rows and TRX bodyweight rows. These will build the necessary pulling strength and grip endurance. Do 4 sets of 8-10 reps, emphasizing slow, controlled movements to build strength effectively.
• Farmers Carry: At 00:02:32, you were 00:19 slower than average. Time to embrace your inner lumberjack! Increase your grip strength with farmer's carries for distance. Try carrying heavy dumbbells or kettlebells for 30-50 meters and rest for 30 seconds between sets. Aim for 4 rounds; you’ll be packing some serious strength in no time!

Race Strategies:

To improve your race day performance, consider these strategies:

• Pacing: Start your runs with a controlled pace to avoid burning out. Aim for a consistent effort. Remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint—unless it’s a sprint marathon, which doesn’t exist. Funny how that works! 😄
• Transitions: Your roxzone time of 00:08:27 was slower by 01:26 compared to the average. Treat transitions like a mini-race within a race. Practice quick changes at your gym. Set up a circuit where you move from one exercise to another with minimal downtime.
• Breathing Techniques: Focus on controlled breathing during high-intensity segments. Use the 4-4 method: inhale for 4 counts, exhale for 4 counts. It’ll help keep you calm and collected, ensuring that you can power through those challenging exercises!

Marnix, you’ve got the foundation to become a Hyrox powerhouse!
