Strategies

To improve his overall performance in future races, Ryan should consider the following strategies:

This will help him improve his performance in segments that require strength, such as the Sled Pull and Sled Push. Incorporating exercises like deadlifts, squats, lunges, push-ups, and shoulder presses into his training routine will help build the necessary strength and power.

3. Running Training: While Ryan performed well in the running segments, he can still benefit from specific running training to further enhance his performance. Incorporating interval training, hill sprints, and tempo runs into his training routine will help improve his speed and endurance in running segments.

5. Transition Time: Ryan had a faster Roxzone time compared to the average, indicating efficient transitions between exercises. However, he should continue to work on improving his transition time to minimize any potential time loss during the race.
