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.

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.

- Transitions: To improve the roxzone time, Ben should work on improving his overall fitness and specifically focus on reducing transition time between exercise zones. Incorporating circuit training and practicing quick and efficient transitions during training can help improve this aspect.
- Strength Training: Since Ben's total running time was slower than the average, he should prioritize strength training in his training routine. Incorporating exercises such as weightlifting, resistance training, and bodyweight exercises can help improve his overall strength and power.
- Running Training: While Ben's running times were slightly slower than the average, he should still prioritize running training to improve his overall running endurance and speed. Incorporating longer distance runs, interval training, and tempo runs can help improve his performance in running segments.
- Mental Preparation: In addition to physical training, Ben should also focus on mental preparation for the race. Practicing visualization techniques, positive affirmations, and mental toughness exercises can help him stay focused and motivated throughout the race.
By implementing these strategies and incorporating specific exercises, drills, and training routines tailored to enhance performance in the identified areas of improvement, Ben Ruefer can make significant progress in his future Hyrox races.
