Coaching HYROX Elite 15 Athletes (Anthony Peressini)

Great episode. Reminds me of Olav Aleksander coaching the Norwegian Triathletes. Great to see the engineering mindset. Love Anthony's obsession with the sport. Wonder what splits he's tracking in the races -- don't think he said what specifically he's looking at!

Thank you! Yeah, must admit when I listened back I thought I should have asked him about the splits. My guess is its the time they spend actually doing the station. Like rowing is an obvious one - the time the Mika data shows for your rowing time includes getting into the rower, out the rower etc as opposed to just time rowing. Same for things like ski, sled push, sled pull, etc. Depending on venues that extra time in a station can differ - a UK course with 50 sled push lanes, for example, can take longer to get in and out of than a smaller venue. And then for what he's tracking, which is the Elites, it can be even more important because they rarely have a roxzone time in the grid races, it all goes on to stations or runs.

It is a lot of splits per length times. For example, how long each length of sled push takes and how much time is spent at forced or normalized stopping points (the ends). I’ll also compare stopping/rest durations between athletes.

@@TheHybridEngine ah makes sense, interesting, thank you!
