Segments to Improve
-
Sled Pull (00:07:43, 100th Percentile Rank)
The sled pull was the most challenging for GertJan, significantly slower than average. To improve:
- Drills: Incorporate heavy sled drags and pulls into training, focusing on maintaining posture and core stability.
- Strength Exercises: Increase leg and upper body strength with exercises like deadlifts, bent-over rows, and pull-ups.
- Form Correction: Focus on engaging the core and using legs and back effectively to pull, minimizing reliance on arm strength alone.
-
Roxzone (00:07:02, 66th Percentile Rank)
The transition times in the roxzone were slower, indicating potential inefficiencies or rest periods:
- Drills: Practice transitions between different exercises under time constraints.
- Overall Fitness: Enhance cardiovascular fitness to reduce recovery time during transitions.
-
Burpees Broad Jump (00:05:16, 63rd Percentile Rank)
Improvement needed in endurance and form for burpees:
- Drills: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions including burpees to improve speed and endurance.
- Form Correction: Emphasize technique to ensure efficient movement and energy conservation.
-
Sandbag Lunges (00:05:01, 59th Percentile Rank)
Focus on increasing lower body endurance and strength:
- Exercises: Incorporate weighted lunges and step-ups to build leg strength and stability.
- Endurance: Increase volume in training sessions gradually to build muscle endurance.
Race Strategies
- Consistent Pacing: Develop a race plan that balances speed and endurance, particularly in the early running segments to avoid overly conservative starts.
- Strategic Resting: Minimize downtime in the roxzone by rehearsing quick transitions and maintaining a moderate heart rate.
- Compromised Running: Train for running immediately after strength exercises to mimic race conditions and improve recovery speed.
- Mental Preparation: Focus on mental strategies to push through challenging segments, particularly during strength-based exercises.
