Overall Performance:
Gayle Sheppard performed exceptionally well in the 2024 Birmingham race, ranking in the top 9% of all participants and the top 5% in her age group. Her overall time was 01:26:20, which is impressive considering the rigours of the competition. Sheppard's total running time was 00:40:55, which is 03:45 faster than the average. This clearly shows that her strength lies in running, where she consistently performed faster than average in all the running segments. However, her transition time (roxzone) was significantly slower than average, indicating that she might have taken more rest or had slower transitions.
Segments to Improve:
Sled Pull: This was her slowest segment, where she took 01:34 more than the average. To improve in this area, Sheppard needs to work on her push-pull strength and endurance. Incorporating exercises like deadlifts, kettlebell swings, and sled push or pull in her training routine could be beneficial. Additionally, practising the transition from running to sled pulling can help cut down the transition time.
Wall Balls: Sheppard was 01:28 slower than average in this segment. To enhance performance, she should focus on improving her squat and throw techniques. Implementing exercises like goblet squats, thrusters, and medicine ball tosses in her training can help. Practising transitions from running to wall balls can also reduce time spent in the roxzone.
Roxzone: Sheppard's roxzone time was 01:02 slower than the average. This suggests she may be resting more or taking longer transitions. By working on her overall fitness and focusing on quick transitions during training, she can reduce this time. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) and practising various exercise-to-exercise transitions can be effective strategies.
Race Strategies:
Considering Sheppard's strengths and areas for improvement, we suggest the following race strategies:
Pacing: Sheppard should aim for a steady pace in the initial running segments to conserve energy for later stages. As her strength lies in running, she can afford to push harder in the final running segments.
Transition: She should focus on quick transitions, especially moving from running to strength segments. Practising these transitions during training can help improve her roxzone time.
Strength Training: Given that her weaker segments are strength-based, Sheppard should concentrate on improving her strength conditioning. This will not just improve her performance in these segments but also aid in faster recovery and transition.
