Overall Performance:

Jun Teck Goh delivered a commendable performance at the 2024 Singapore HYROX race, achieving an overall rank of 687 and placing in the top 61% of the total participants. In his age group (25-29), he ranked 111, placing him in the top 62%. His total running time of 00:59:28 was notably 00:47 faster than the average, indicating a strong running profile. However, his performance in strength-based segments showed room for improvement, particularly in the Sandbag Lunges and Wall Balls. His pacing strategy seemed balanced initially, but he appeared to struggle in the later stages, suggesting potential fatigue or a need for better endurance training.

Segments to Improve:

• Sandbag Lunges: Jun was 01:14 slower than average. To enhance his performance, he should focus on building lower body strength and endurance.
• Exercises: Split squats, walking lunges, and weighted lunges will help strengthen the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes.
• Drills: Incorporate high-rep lunge sets with sandbags to mimic the race scenario and improve endurance.
• Form Correction: Focus on maintaining an upright torso and proper knee alignment to improve efficiency and reduce fatigue.
• Wall Balls: Jun was 01:04 slower than average. Improving his explosive power and coordination can be beneficial.
• Exercises: Medicine ball throws, squat jumps, and plyometric push-ups will enhance explosive strength.
• Drills: Practice wall ball shots with emphasis on timing and rhythm to increase efficiency.
• Form Correction: Ensure a deep squat with full hip extension and a fluid motion when releasing the ball.
• Roxzone: Although Jun was 00:13 faster than average, optimizing transition efficiency can further improve his performance.
• Exercises: High-intensity circuit training to simulate race conditions and improve overall fitness.
• Drills: Practice quick transitions between exercises with minimal rest to adapt to race demands.

Race Strategies:

• Endurance Building: Increase the volume and intensity of long runs and interval training to enhance overall endurance, specifically focusing on maintaining pace in later stages.
• Balancing Running and Strength: With a strong running profile, Jun should focus more on strength training to complement his running skills. Incorporate functional strength exercises into his routine.
• Nutrition and Hydration: Ensure adequate fueling before and during the race to prevent fatigue. Practice with race-day nutrition to identify optimal strategies.
• Psychological Preparation: Develop mental strategies to maintain focus and motivation throughout the race, especially during challenging segments.
