To improve in Running 3 and Running 4, Will should focus on increasing his running speed and endurance. Incorporating interval training, such as tempo runs and fartlek workouts, will help improve his running performance. Additionally, including hill training and plyometric exercises like box jumps and jump squats will enhance his leg strength and power, enabling him to maintain a faster pace during these segments.
For the Roxzone, Will should aim to improve his overall fitness and transition time. Incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts, such as circuit training or Tabata training, will help improve his fitness level and reduce the time spent in the transition zones. Additionally, practicing quick and efficient transitions during training sessions will help him optimize his time in the Roxzone.
To improve in the Sled Push, Will should focus on strengthening his lower body and improving his pushing technique. Exercises such as squats, lunges, and deadlifts will help build leg strength and power. Additionally, practicing proper pushing form, including maintaining a low center of gravity and driving through the legs, will improve his efficiency during the Sled Push segment.
The Burpees Broad Jump segment can be improved by focusing on both strength and explosiveness. Incorporating exercises such as burpees, plyometric push-ups, and broad jumps into his training routine will help build upper body and lower body strength, as well as improve explosiveness and power.
For the Sled Pull segment, Will should focus on improving his pulling power and technique. Exercises such as rows, pull-ups, and sled pulls will help strengthen the muscles involved in pulling movements. Additionally, focusing on maintaining a consistent and efficient pulling technique, such as using proper grip and body positioning, will improve his performance in this segment.
It is also important for Will to strategize his efforts based on his profile. Since his total running time was slower than average, he should prioritize training his running abilities. Incorporating longer distance runs, speed work, and interval training into his training routine will help improve his overall running performance.
In conclusion, Will Simpson had a solid performance in the 2023 Bilbao Hyrox race. To improve his performance, he should focus on specific segments such as Running 3, Running 4, Roxzone, Sled Push, Burpees Broad Jump, and Sled Pull. By incorporating the suggested training strategies and techniques, he can enhance his overall fitness, running speed, endurance, and specific skills required for each segment. With improved pacing and targeted training, Will has the potential to achieve even better results in future races.
