Overall Performance

Rob Seabrooks delivered a commendable performance in the 2024 Singapore Hyrox event, placing in the top 55% overall and in the top 60% of his age group category. His overall time was 01:54:36, with a total running time of 00:55:13, which is 01:01 faster than the average. This suggests a strong running profile, as he completed the running segments more efficiently than the average participant. Seabrooks maintained a consistent pace throughout, without starting too fast or too slow in the initial segments, indicating a well-managed energy distribution during the race. However, his strength in running is contrasted by certain areas where strength and transitional skills could be improved.

Segments to Improve

• Wall Balls: Rob's time was 01:59 slower than average, indicating a need for improvement in this segment. To enhance performance:
  • Drills: Incorporate wall ball practice sessions focusing on form, aiming for high-repetition sets with lighter weights to build endurance.
  • Exercises: Integrate squats, overhead presses, and thrusters into the training routine to improve the explosive power and technique needed for wall balls.
  • Technique: Focus on maintaining a strong core and a consistent, rhythmic motion to conserve energy.
• Burpees Broad Jump: With a time 01:59 slower than average, this is another key area for improvement. Recommended strategies include:
  • Drills: Practice burpee broad jumps with a focus on explosive power in the jump and efficient transitions between movements.
  • Exercises: Incorporate plyometric exercises like box jumps and tuck jumps to build power and agility.
  • Technique: Work on maintaining a steady pace and proper form to reduce fatigue.
• Sled Pull: Rob's performance here was slower than average by 00:14, suggesting that:
  • Drills: Include sled pulls with varying resistance levels to build strength and endurance specific to this movement.
  • Exercises: Focus on back and arm strength exercises, such as deadlifts and rows, to enhance pulling capability.
  • Technique: Practice efficient hand-over-hand pulling and maintaining a low, stable posture.
• Farmers Carry: With a time 00:26 slower than average, enhancement strategies include:
  • Drills: Perform farmers walks with heavy weights to improve grip strength and core stability.
  • Exercises: Add grip strength exercises like dead hangs and wrist curls to prevent fatigue in the carry.
  • Technique: Focus on maintaining an upright posture and controlled breathing throughout the movement.
• Ski Erg: Seabrooks was 00:24 slower than average, and can benefit from:
  • Drills: Regular Ski Erg sessions focusing on both high-intensity intervals and longer endurance sets.
  • Exercises: Incorporate core and upper body strengthening exercises such as planks and lat pull-downs.
  • Technique: Work on efficient stroke technique, emphasizing a strong pull-through and smooth recovery.

Race Strategies

• Focus on improving transitions between exercise zones to reduce Roxzone time. This involves minimizing rest periods and practicing quick transitions in training.
• Consider pacing adjustments to maintain a balanced energy distribution across both running and strength segments.
• Develop a mental race plan that includes visualization techniques to prepare for the most challenging segments, such as wall balls and burpees broad jumps.
• Implement a race-day nutrition strategy to ensure optimal energy levels throughout the event.
