Lim Ming Hui Vincent Performance Analysis

Overall Performance

Ming Hui Vincent Lim competed in the 2024 Singapore National Stadium HYROX event, placing in the top 55% overall and the top 58% within his age group. His overall time was 01:57:38, with a total running time of 00:59:47, which was 02:24 slower than average. Notably, his best running lap was 00:05:46. His initial running segments (Running 1 to Running 4) indicate a strong start with times consistently faster than average, suggesting a potential pacing strategy that may have been too aggressive, leading to fatigue later in the race. His performance across different segments shows a balanced profile, with strengths in some running and strength segments, but room for improvement in others, particularly in the running segment towards the end and transitions (Roxzone).

Segments to Improve

• Sled Push and Sled Pull: The Sled Push was 00:56 slower than average, and Sled Pull was 00:04 faster than average but still has room for improvement.
  • Training Strategy: Focus on building leg strength and power. Incorporate exercises such as squats, lunges, and deadlifts. Use sled push and pull variations in training, gradually increasing weight while maintaining form.
  • Drills: Include explosive strength drills like box jumps and plyometrics to enhance power output.
• Farmers Carry: This segment was 00:49 slower than average.
  • Training Strategy: Improve grip strength and core stability. Use heavy farmers walks with progressively increased weights, ensuring proper posture and balance.
  • Exercises: Incorporate kettlebell swings, planks, and deadlifts to strengthen supporting muscles.
• Running 8: This segment was significantly slower, 06:16 slower than average, indicating fatigue.
  • Training Strategy: Develop endurance and pacing. Implement interval training and long-distance runs to build stamina.
  • Drills: Include tempo runs and fartlek sessions to enhance aerobic capacity and recovery.
• Roxzone: Transitions were 01:29 slower than average.
  • Training Strategy: Focus on efficient transitions. Practice quick changeovers between exercises in training scenarios.
  • Techniques: Time each transition in workouts to build speed and familiarity.

Race Strategies

• Optimal Pacing: Start at a sustainable pace to conserve energy for later segments, particularly Running 8 where significant time was lost.
• Transition Efficiency: Develop a routine for transitions (Roxzone) to minimize downtime. Visualize and practice these transitions during training sessions.
• Strength-Endurance Balance: Given the hybrid nature of your profile, allocate training time to both running and strength exercises, ensuring neither is neglected.
• Post-Exercise Running: Incorporate compromised running drills, such as running immediately after strength workouts, to simulate race conditions and improve performance under fatigue.
