Segments to Improve

• Burpees Broad Jump (00:10:48, 98 Percentile Rank)
  • Identified Issue: This segment is significantly slower than average. The athlete may struggle with explosive strength and endurance in this exercise.
  • Training Strategies:
    • Focus on explosive power and endurance through plyometric exercises such as box jumps and squat jumps.
    • Incorporate High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) to improve cardiovascular endurance and recovery speed between explosive movements.
    • Practice the burpees broad jump itself as a drill to improve technique and efficiency.
• Wall Balls (00:09:17, 54 Percentile Rank)
  • Identified Issue: Slightly slower than average, indicating room for improvement in the technique or conditioning for this exercise.
  • Training Strategies:
    • Enhance shoulder and leg endurance with high-rep sets of wall balls and thrusters.
    • Focus on improving core stability with exercises like planks and medicine ball Russian twists.
    • Incorporate breathing techniques to maintain a steady pace throughout the exercise.
• Sandbag Lunges (00:07:34, 66 Percentile Rank)
  • Identified Issue: Slower than average, indicating potential issues with leg strength or technique.
  • Training Strategies:
    • Improve leg strength with weighted lunges, squats, and Bulgarian split squats.
    • Focus on balance and form by incorporating single-leg exercises.
    • Practice sandbag lunges to enhance familiarity and efficiency with the movement.

Race Strategies

• Pacing Strategy: Start with a consistent pace to avoid early fatigue. Monitor effort levels in the initial running segments to ensure energy conservation for later stages.
• Transition Efficiency: Work on improving transition times in the Roxzone by practicing quick transitions between exercises during training sessions. Enhance overall fitness to reduce recovery time and improve Roxzone performance.
• Compromised Running: Include compromised running drills in training, where running is performed immediately after strength exercises. This will help in adapting to the fatigue experienced during transitions in the event.
