Alessandro Boscolo Anzoletti, Martina Vianello Hyrox Result

Overall Performance:

Alessandro and Martina, first off, let’s take a moment to appreciate your performance in Rimini! Finishing with an overall time of 01:49:33 places you in the top 97% among 783 athletes, and in the top 98% of your age group! That’s no small feat—congratulations! 🎉

Your total running time of 51:53 shows that you have a solid runner profile, which is impressive, especially when you consider the average. You were about 10:28 faster than average; that’s a speed demon’s time! However, your pacing during the race showed some fluctuations. The first half is where you really excelled, but as the race progressed, there were some dips. This indicates that while your endurance is commendable, there’s room to improve consistency, particularly in your strength segments. Remember, “The only easy day was yesterday,” and we’re here to turn those challenges into strengths! 💪

Segments & Race Analysis:

In terms of segment analysis, your performance was a mixed bag. You started strong with a respectable first run and maintained a decent pace through the ski erg, but then the sled segments were where things got a little slippery. The sled pull, in particular, was a significant outlier, taking you almost 2 minutes longer than average. The running segments remained consistent, but you lost time in the transitions—your roxzone was slower than the average athlete, indicating that you spent more time resting or transitioning between exercises. Don’t worry; we’re going to tighten that up! 🏃💨

Strength-wise, the sled push and pull appeared to be your kryptonite today. The burpees broad jump and sandbag lunges also showed potential for improvement. Your athletes’ instincts kicked in during those runs, but the strength segments seem to have held you back. We’ll work on that to ensure you can power through the entire race without losing that pace! Remember, “Pain is just weakness leaving the body.”

Segments to Improve:

Now, let’s dive into the segments where you can really crank up the performance. Here’s the breakdown:

• Sled Pull: You can shave off 2:24 from your 07:45 time. This means a focus of 28% during training.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Aim to cut 2:08 from your 07:03 time. Focus on this segment for 25% of your training.
• Sandbag Lunges: There’s potential to improve by 2:05 (from 07:32 to 05:27), focusing 24% on this.
• Wall Balls: You can improve by 1:06 (from 07:08 to 06:02), with a focus of 13%.
• Sled Push: A smaller but still notable improvement of 0:23 (from 03:11 to 02:48), focus on this for 4%.

To tackle the sled pull, we recommend incorporating heavy resistance training into your regimen. Focus on deadlifts, bent-over rows, and sled drags, ensuring to maintain proper form to avoid injury. For burpees broad jumps, practice explosive movements like box jumps and plyometric drills to build power in your legs. Sandbag lunges can be improved through dynamic lunges with weights, emphasizing core stability. Wall balls? Let’s work on perfecting that squat and throw technique, perhaps with a medicine ball to build endurance and explosive strength. And don’t forget to practice transitions during training; it’s all about that hustle in the roxzone! 💥

Race Strategies:

During the race, remember to pace yourself. Start strong, but also keep a steady breath and rhythm for the latter part of the race. A common mistake is going too fast out of the gates—think of it as a marathon, not a sprint! Visualize each segment and mentally prepare for the transitions. When you finish a segment, don’t just stand there like you’re deciding on what to binge-watch later; keep that momentum going! Also, practice your transitions in training to minimize unnecessary downtime. It’s like being on a fast-paced reality TV show; don’t let the drama of fatigue slow you down. Stay focused and keep pushing through! 🏆

Conclusion:

Now, looking forward to your next races, you have some exciting events lined up! Mark your calendars for HYROX Verona on December 6, 2025, and the races in Rome on September 26 and 27. These are fantastic opportunities to put all this training into action.

Keep in mind, “It’s not about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.” You’ve shown that you can take hits and still come out on top. It’s time to push through those barriers, fine-tune your strengths, and crush those weaknesses. Remember, every setback is a setup for a comeback!

Let’s keep the momentum going, Alessandro and Martina! Stay hungry, stay humble, and keep chasing greatness. You’ve got this! The Rox-Coach is here, cheering you on every step of the way! 💪
