Segments to Improve
Burpees Broad Jump: Simon completed this segment 01:21 slower than the average, placing him in the 90th percentile. To improve:
Drills: Include explosive plyometric exercises such as box jumps and burpee variations to build power and efficiency.
Form Correction: Focus on maintaining a consistent rhythm and optimizing the landing phase in broad jumps to conserve energy.
Exercises: Incorporate squat thrusts and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to enhance cardiovascular endurance and strength.
Wall Balls: This segment was 01:03 slower than average, placing Simon in the 81st percentile. To improve:
Drills: Practice wall ball throws with varying weights to develop both endurance and strength.
Form Correction: Focus on maintaining a strong core and utilizing leg power for efficient upward throws.
Exercises: Include thrusters and medicine ball slams in the training routine to build explosive strength.
Roxzone: Simon spent 00:05 longer than average in the Roxzone. To improve:
Drills: Work on transition drills that emphasize quick movement and minimal rest between exercises.
Form Correction: Practice efficient equipment handling and setup to reduce transition times.
Exercises: Circuit training that simulates race conditions to enhance overall fitness and transition speed.
Race Strategies
Pacing: Consider starting slightly faster during the initial running segments to capitalize on Simon's running strength and improve overall time.
Energy Management: Focus on maintaining a steady pace throughout strength segments to prevent fatigue affect performance in later stages.
Transition Efficiency: Practice efficient transitions in training to minimize time spent in the Roxzone during actual races.
Compromised Running: Incorporate compromised running drills where Simon runs immediately after strength exercises to simulate race fatigue and enhance endurance.
