Teigen Lasse Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Lasse, you put in a solid performance at the 2024 Stockholm Hyrox, finishing with an overall time of 01:12:23, placing you 59th out of 168 athletes. That’s right in the top 35%, and for your age group, you landed at 20th, which is a commendable effort! Your total running time of 33:40 is impressive, coming in 1:23 faster than the average. Clearly, the running side of this hybrid fitness game is your strong suit, and it shows in your best lap of 3:48!

However, there are a few segments where we can shave off precious seconds. It seems you started strong but hit a couple of speed bumps—specifically during the Sled Pull and Sandbag Lunges. Looks like you may have run out of gas in those areas. Remember, in Hyrox, it’s a marathon, not a sprint. You need to master the art of pacing. If you’re flying out of the gates like a racehorse, you might find yourself looking for a hay bale to rest on later in the race. You have the potential to be a fierce hybrid athlete, but a little focus on strength will help you balance that running prowess. 💪

Segments to Improve:

• Sandbag Lunges (00:04:48): This was your slowest segment, landing you in the 46th percentile. To improve, focus on strength and endurance in your legs. Try incorporating weighted lunges into your routine. Start with lighter weights and gradually increase as you become more comfortable. Consider doing sets of 10-15 weighted lunges for 3-4 rounds. Also, practice your form—keep your core tight and ensure your knees don’t go past your toes.
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:04:05): A 45th percentile finish here shows that you might want to work on your explosive power and endurance. Break this exercise down: practice burpees separately and focus on springing up as explosively as you can. Pair this with broad jumps—do sets of 5-10 followed by a set of burpees. Aim for 3 rounds with a focus on speed and power.
• Sled Pull (00:05:24): Slower than average by 13 seconds. This calls for some serious strength training. Incorporate sled drags into your weekly workout. Start with lighter loads and work your way up. Aim for 5 sets of 20-30 meters, focusing on maintaining good form throughout. Remember: it’s not about how fast you pull but how strong you are in maintaining that pull!
• Wall Balls (00:05:34): You finished in the 27th percentile, which is decent, but we can do better. For this, make sure your squat form is on point. Work on your squat depth and explosiveness. Incorporate wall ball drills into your weekly program—do sets of 10-15 reps for 4-5 rounds, focusing on the full range of motion.

Race Strategies:

• Pacing: Start strong but know when to dial it back. You can’t just run like you’re being chased by a bear! Keep an eye on your heart rate and maintain a sustainable effort level. This will help you keep your energy for the latter parts of the race.
• Transitions: Your Roxzone time of 5:35 is slower than average by 46 seconds! This indicates a need for quicker transitions. Practice moving from one exercise to another with minimal downtime. Set a timer and work on transitioning between exercises seamlessly; it’ll save you valuable seconds!
• Breathing and Focus: During segments like the Sled Pull and Wall Balls, focus on your breathing. Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth. This will help you maintain energy and focus on form instead of fatigue.

Conclusion:

Lasse, you have a solid foundation to build on, and with some targeted training on those weaker segments, you can elevate your Hyrox game to new heights. Remember, “The only way to achieve the impossible is to believe it is possible.” Keep pushing your limits! Every second counts in this game, so let’s transform those weaknesses into strengths. And hey, if all else fails, just remember: it’s called Hyrox, not Hi-relax! 😉 Keep grinding, and let’s crush those goals! You've got this!

Stay strong and keep hustling,

The Rox-Coach
