- Transitions: To improve his overall time and performance, Rabii should work on minimizing the time spent in the roxzone. This can be achieved by practicing quick and efficient transitions between exercises, as well as improving overall fitness and endurance to reduce the need for extended rest periods.
- Strength vs. Running: Rabii should assess whether his total running time is faster or slower than average to determine his training focus. If his total running time is faster, he should prioritize strength training to improve in segments like burpees broad jump, farmers carry, and sled pull. If his total running time is slower, he should prioritize running training to improve his overall running performance. Tailor training plans accordingly to address these specific areas of improvement.
