Jordan Mccall Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Hey Mccall! First off, a massive congratulations on your performance at the 2025 Las Vegas Hyrox! Ranking 33rd in your age group out of 238 is no small feat—you're in the top 13%! That’s something to be proud of! Your overall time of 1:17:04 shows you're not just a runner but an athlete who knows how to push through the grind. With a total running time of 36:49, which is 1:55 faster than average, it’s clear that you have a solid runner’s profile. This means you’ve got the wheels to keep moving. However, your splits tell a slightly different story—there’s room for improvement in your strength segments, especially the Sled Push and the Ski Erg, where you lagged behind the average.

Looking at your pacing, your first running segment was a bit on the fast side, which might have set the tone for the rest of the race. You came out strong, but it looks like the sled work and other strength elements might have taken a toll on your running stamina later on. Remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint—unless you’re sprinting, then it’s just a sprint! 🏃💨

Segments to Improve:

Let's break down the segments that need some extra love:

• Sled Push: 3:30 (53 seconds slower than average)
• Rowing: 5:17 (40 seconds slower than average)
• Ski Erg: 4:54 (36 seconds slower than average)
• Farmers Carry: 2:28 (30 seconds slower than average)
• Sled Pull: 4:29 (7 seconds slower than average)
• Wall Balls: 5:31 (9 seconds slower than average)

Now, let's tackle these segments with some actionable strategies:

• Sled Push:
  • Drill: Incorporate heavy sled pushes into your weekly routine, focusing on maintaining a low and stable body position. Aim for 4 sets of 20-30 meters, resting adequately between sets.
  • Technique: Keep your chest up and drive through your legs. Think of it like trying to push a stubborn friend out of a donut shop—keep that intensity high!
• Rowing:
  • Drill: Perform interval rowing sessions—30 seconds of all-out effort followed by 1 minute of easy rowing, for a total of 20 minutes. This mimics the race intensity and will help improve your power output.
  • Form: Focus on your stroke rate and ensure you’re engaging your core throughout. You want to row like you’re escaping a swarm of bees, not like you’re enjoying a leisurely paddle!
• Ski Erg:
  • Drill: Incorporate 5 x 500m intervals on the Ski Erg with 2-3 minutes rest in between. This will help build your endurance and strength specific to this movement.
  • Technique: Use your legs to initiate the pull, engage your core, and finish strong with your arms. Remember, it’s not a race to the finish line; it’s a race to the finish line with style!
• Farmers Carry:
  • Drill: Use heavy kettlebells or dumbbells and walk for distance. Start with 40 meters and gradually increase the weight. This will strengthen your grip and core while also improving your posture.
  • Technique: Keep your shoulders back and your core tight. Think of it as carrying the weight of your bad decisions—keep it steady!
• Sled Pull:
  • Drill: Implement sled pulls into your training, focusing on maintaining a low center of gravity. Aim for 4 sets of 20-30 meters.
  • Form: Keep your hips low and pull with your legs, not just your arms. Imagine you’re trying to drag a stubborn friend out of the gym!
• Wall Balls:
  • Drill: Practice 10 sets of 10 wall balls with a focus on explosive movements. Rest adequately between sets to maintain intensity.
  • Technique: Make sure to squat low and explode up into the throw. It’s like trying to get your dog to fetch the ball—just with a bit more finesse!

Race Strategies:

Now, let’s talk strategy for your next race:

• Pacing: Start the race at a controlled pace, particularly during the first running segment. You want to conserve energy for those heavy segments. It’s not a sprint; it’s a Hyrox!
• Transitions: Work on your transitions during training. Aim to cut down that Roxzone time, as it can make a significant difference in your overall performance. Think of it as your pit stop—quick and efficient!
• Mindset: Keep a positive attitude, especially during the strength segments. When it gets tough, remind yourself: "Pain is temporary; quitting lasts forever."—David Goggins would approve!

Conclusion:

Mccall, you're doing great, and the path to improvement is paved with sweat and determination. Embrace the grind, work on those segments, and remember: the only bad workout is the one that didn’t happen. You’ve got the speed; now let’s build that strength! Keep pushing, and soon enough, you’ll be smashing your personal bests and crushing the competition. Let’s get after it! 💪💥

Believe in yourself, train hard, and remember: "You are your only limit."—The Rox-Coach
