However, certain strength-based exercises like Wall Balls and Burpees Broad Jump proved to be challenging areas that need attention.

Segments to Improve

• Wall Balls: This segment was significantly slower than average. To improve:
  • Technique Training: Focus on maintaining a consistent rhythm and ensuring the squat depth is optimal for power generation. Practice with a lighter ball to perfect form before progressing to the competition weight.
  • Strength Drills: Incorporate front squats and thrusters in your routine to build the necessary leg and shoulder strength.
  • Endurance Building: Perform wall ball sets with increasing reps to build stamina, aiming for sets of 20-30 reps with minimal rest.
• Roxzone: Time spent in transition was slower, indicating potential for improvement in fitness and transition efficiency:
  • Transition Drills: Simulate race conditions and practice rapid transitions between exercises to improve speed.
  • Fitness Routines: Incorporate circuit training that rapidly shifts between exercises to build overall fitness.
• Burpees Broad Jump: This segment was slower, suggesting a need for more explosive power:
  • Explosive Power Training: Include plyometric exercises such as box jumps and tuck jumps to enhance power.
  • Technique Refinement: Focus on maintaining a consistent pace and correct form during the burpee and jump phases.

Race Strategies

• Pacing Strategy: Given your strong running ability, maintain a steady pace in the running segments while conserving energy for the strength exercises.
• Segment Prioritization: Allocate more time in training to the segments identified as needing improvement, particularly the Wall Balls and Burpees Broad Jump.
• Energy Conservation: Use the Roxzone to recover just enough to maintain performance without losing too much time. Practice quick but effective recovery techniques like controlled breathing and muscle relaxation.
• Focus on Strength-Endurance: Given your running strength, balance your training to enhance strength-endurance capabilities to support exercises like the Sled Push and Pull, and other strength-based tasks.
