Strategies

- Start the race at a pace that allows for consistent and sustainable effort throughout the entire race. It's important to avoid starting too fast and burning out early.
- Prioritize efficient transitions between exercises to minimize time spent in the roxzone. Practice transitioning quickly and smoothly between exercises during training sessions.
- Focus on maintaining proper form and technique throughout each exercise to maximize efficiency and minimize energy expenditure.
- Incorporate specific training sessions that target the areas for improvement mentioned above, such as sled pull, wall balls, sandbag lunges, and rowing. These training sessions should include exercises and drills that mimic the movements and intensity of the race segments.
- Include a combination of strength training, cardiovascular endurance training, and interval training in the overall training plan to improve overall fitness and performance in the race.
- Regularly assess and monitor progress by tracking split times and overall performance in training sessions and races. Use this data to make adjustments to the training plan as needed.
