Strategies

- Pacing: Based on Ellie's overall performance and splits, she displayed a well-paced race. However, to improve her overall time, she can consider increasing her intensity during the running segments, as her total running time was faster than average. This will allow her to make up for any potential time lost during the strength-based segments.
- Transition Time: To decrease her time in the roxzone, Ellie should focus on improving her overall fitness and reducing transition time between exercise zones. Incorporating specific exercises that target agility, speed, and quick transitions can help her perform better in this area.
- Strength Training: To enhance her performance in strength-based segments such as burpees broad jump, wall balls, and sled push, Ellie should incorporate strength training exercises that target the involved muscle groups. This can include exercises such as squats, lunges, and upper body strength exercises.
- Endurance Training: To improve her performance in cardio-intensive segments like rowing and ski erg, Ellie should include endurance training in her routine. This can involve activities like running, cycling, or swimming, which will help improve her cardiovascular fitness and endurance.
- Technique Practice: Ellie should ensure that she practices proper form and technique for each exercise. This will help her perform more efficiently and avoid unnecessary energy expenditure or potential injury.

By implementing these training strategies and techniques, Ellie Brimicombe can further improve her performance in the HYROX race and continue to excel in her age group.
