In HYROX, pacing is the name of the game. The pacing line shows where you hit the gas, tapped the brakes, or nailed it perfectly—guiding the way to a more balanced and dominant race strategy.
With the RoxCoach Simulation machine, you can see how your predicted finish time evolves as you power through your race. This next-level tech recalculates your estimated finish time after every run and every station. Crushing the sled pull? Gaining ground on the row? Or holding strong in the Wall Balls? RoxCoach tracks it all, giving you the inside scoop on where you shined and where there’s room to level up.
This chart breaks down the splits for every athlete in the division, giving you a clear look at how times are distributed across the pack.
Compare performance to the competition, spotting where they dominated and where there’s room to improve.
You’ll see how they stack up against the Top 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and beyond. Outliers are out—so the focus stays on the real competition.
Based on our analysis, here are the focus areas for improvement. The goal is to determine how quickly the athlete could improve on some stations and where is the path of least resistance to improve his time.
The percentile rank is the current position of the athlete compared to the competition. It goes from 0 to 100, where 0 is the best and 100 is the worst. It show the potential improvement for each station. The athlete should focus on the stations with the highest potential improvement and the biggest duration.
A big improvement in the Farmer's carry station will not be as impactful as a small improvement in the wall ball station for instance. Just click on a station to see how easy it will be to improve and how important it is to focus on it during training.

In terms of overall time, Michael completed the race in 01:18:20. His total running time was 00:41:28, which was 03:07 slower than the average for his finish time. This indicates that he may need to improve his overall fitness and transition time during the ROXzone.
It is worth noting that Michael's best lap time for running was 00:04:10, which was on par with the average. This suggests that he has a balanced running profile.
To improve his performance in these segments, Michael can focus on the following strategies and techniques:
1. Run Total: To improve his overall running time, Michael should incorporate more running-specific training into his routine. This can include interval training, hill sprints, and tempo runs. Additionally, he should work on improving his running efficiency and technique through drills such as high knees, butt kicks, and strides.
2. Wall Balls: Michael can enhance his performance in this segment by increasing his upper body and core strength. He should incorporate exercises that target these areas, such as push-ups, pull-ups, planks, and medicine ball exercises. Additionally, practicing wall ball shots with proper form and technique will help him become more efficient in this movement.
3. Running 8, Running 5, Running 6, Running 7, Running 3, and Running 4: These segments indicate that Michael may need to work on his endurance and pacing during longer runs. Incorporating longer distance runs into his training program will help improve his stamina. Additionally, incorporating interval training and tempo runs can help him develop better pacing strategies during races.
Overall, Michael Sheldon has shown great potential in the HYROX race. By focusing on the identified areas of improvement and implementing the suggested training strategies and techniques, he can further enhance his performance and achieve even better results in future races.
