8. Sandbag Lunges: Brossard was 00:17 slower than average in this segment. To improve his performance, he should focus on building his strength and endurance for carrying heavy loads. Incorporating exercises like weighted lunges, squats, and deadlifts into his training routine will help him develop the necessary strength and improve his performance in sandbag lunges.
Strategies
- Brossard should aim to maintain a consistent pace throughout the race, ensuring that he doesn't start too fast and burn out later on.
- He should focus on efficient transitions between exercises, minimizing the time spent in the Roxzone to improve his overall race time.
- Brossard should strategically plan his energy expenditure, ensuring that he has enough energy to maintain a strong pace in the later stages of the race.
- He should also consider incorporating specific training sessions that mimic the race conditions, such as practicing transitions between exercises and running with weighted sandbags, to better prepare himself for the challenges faced during the race.
