However, her pacing analysis reveals a slow start during Running 1, but she quickly found her rhythm, maintaining impressive speeds throughout the subsequent running segments. This indicates a strong ability to adjust pacing effectively. Kimi's running prowess suggests a runner-focused profile, with a need to enhance strength-based exercises and transitions.

Segments to Improve

• Sandbag Lunges:

  This segment was significantly slower than average, with Kimi completing it 02:49 slower than her peers. To improve:

  • Strength Training: Focus on lower body strength with exercises such as lunges, squats, and deadlifts. Incorporate progressive overload to build endurance.
  • Form and Technique: Ensure proper lunging technique, keeping the torso upright and the knee aligned. Practice with lighter weights to refine form before increasing load.
  • Compromised Running Drills: Practice running immediately after lunges to mimic race conditions and improve transition.
• Roxzone:

  Kimi spent 01:20 longer than average in transitions. Improvements can be achieved through:

  • Transition Drills: Practice quick transitions between exercises, focusing on minimizing rest time without sacrificing form.
  • Time Management: Work on efficiently managing time and equipment setup during transitions to maintain pace.
• Burpees Broad Jump:

  This segment was completed 00:17 slower than average. Strategies for improvement include:

  • Plyometric Training: Incorporate box jumps and plyometric lunges to enhance explosive power.
  • Burpee Technique: Focus on fluidity and speed in burpee execution, ensuring minimal time is spent between movements.
• Sled Push & Pull:

  Both exercises were slower than average. To enhance performance:

  • Strength Conditioning: Engage in sled push/pull drills with varying weights to build strength and endurance.
  • Core Stability: Strengthen core muscles to provide better support and efficiency during these exercises.

Race Strategies

• Maintain Consistent Pacing: Begin the race at a steady pace to avoid early fatigue, especially in the initial running segment. Utilize the first few laps to gauge race conditions and adjust accordingly.
• Optimize Transitions: Focus on improving transition efficiency by practicing quick, smooth changes between exercises. This can reduce overall race time significantly.
• Strength-Endurance Balance: While Kimi excels in running, enhancing strength training will provide a more balanced performance across all segments. Tailor workouts to address both running and strength components equally.
