Overall Performance:
William Thorogood demonstrated a strong performance in the 2024 Birmingham HYROX race. His overall rank places him within the top 63% of all athletes, and within the top 67% of his age group. His total running time was notably faster than average, indicating a strong runner profile. His pacing during the race was generally strong, with a consistent performance across the running segments. However, his slower start in Running 1 compared to the average suggests he may have started off a bit slower than necessary.
Thorogood's strengths were particularly evident in his running and sled push and pull segments, where he was faster than average. His performance in the roxzone was also faster than average, suggesting that he managed his transitions well.
Segments to Improve:
Wall Balls: This was a significantly weak area with a time much slower than average. To improve, Thorogood should focus on enhancing his strength and endurance. Incorporating exercises such as kettlebell swings, thrusters, and medicine ball slams could help improve his power output and muscular endurance.
Sandbag Lunges: Thorogood’s performance in this segment was slower than average. To improve his lunge strength and stability, he could incorporate weighted lunges and squats into his training. Additionally, practicing sandbag carries and lunges will improve his strength and technique for this specific segment.
Burpees Broad Jump: Though Thorogood was faster than average in this segment, there is still room for improvement. High-intensity interval training focused on burpees could help enhance his speed and efficiency. Also, incorporating plyometric exercises like box jumps and long jumps can improve his explosive power and jumping ability.
Farmers Carry: This segment was slower than average, indicating a need for improved grip strength and overall stability. Farmer's walks and other grip-strengthening exercises, such as dead hangs and wrist curls, can help in this area.
Race Strategies:
Going forward, Thorogood should focus on starting the race at a faster pace, as he was slower than average in the first running segment. This change could potentially improve his overall time and positioning in the race. Additionally, focusing on the recovery and transition times within the roxzone could also present an opportunity for overall time improvement.
Given his strong running profile, Thorogood could potentially gain more ground during the running segments. Therefore, a strategy that incorporates a faster start and a strong finish in the running segments could be beneficial. However, this should be balanced with adequate recovery to maintain performance in the strength segments.
