Overall Performance:

Guido Savino delivered a commendable performance at the 2024 Milan Hyrox Race, securing an overall rank of 141, placing him in the top 51% of participants. Within his age group, he ranked 17th, which is in the top 47% of his category. His overall time was 01:30:09. Guido's total running time was slightly slower than average by 01:09, indicating a need for improvement in running efficiency. Despite this, his standout performance in the final running segment and several strength exercises showcases a balanced skill set, with a notable strength in hybrid events rather than being purely a runner or strength athlete.

Segments to Improve:

• Running Performance:

  Guido's total running time was 00:43:28, which was 01:09 slower than average. His initial running segment was significantly slower, indicating a potential pacing issue. To enhance running performance, Guido should focus on improving his overall running endurance and efficiency:

  • Training Strategy: Incorporate interval training and tempo runs to build speed and endurance. For example, alternating between 400m sprints and 800m at a steady pace can help improve speed and stamina.
  • Technique Drill: Focus on running form with drills such as high knees and butt kicks to enhance stride efficiency.
• Roxzone Transition:

  With a Roxzone time of 00:08:08, Guido spent 01:27 longer than average. Improving transition speed and reducing rest time will be crucial:

  • Training Strategy: Practice quick transitions between different exercises in training sessions to simulate race conditions and improve efficiency.
  • Exercise: Incorporate circuit training with minimal rest between exercises to mimic the Roxzone transitions.
• Sled Push:

  Guido was 00:23 slower than average, indicating an area for improvement in power and technique:

  • Training Strategy: Focus on building lower body strength and power through exercises like squats and deadlifts.
  • Technique Drill: Practice sled pushes with varying weights to enhance power output and technique.
• Farmers Carry:

  Guido's time was 00:13 slower than average, suggesting a need for improved grip strength and core stability:

  • Training Strategy: Incorporate grip strength exercises such as dead hangs and plate pinches into the routine.
  • Exercise: Practice farmers carry with heavier weights to build endurance and core strength.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing Strategy: Begin the race with a more controlled pace to avoid early fatigue, ensuring energy conservation for the latter stages of the race.
• Energy Management: Focus on consistent breathing techniques during both running and strength segments to maintain energy levels.
• Transition Optimization: Develop a mental checklist for transitions to ensure quick and efficient movement between segments, reducing time spent in the Roxzone.
