Segments to Improve

• Sled Pull: Ibrahim was 03:06 slower than average. To improve:
  • Drills and Techniques: Incorporate sled pull workouts with progressively heavier weights to build strength and endurance.
  • Specific Exercises: Practice bent-over rows and deadlifts to strengthen the back and legs, crucial for sled pulls.
  • Form Corrections: Focus on maintaining a strong core and straight back to maximize force application during pulls.
• Wall Balls: Finished 01:47 slower than average. To improve:
  • Drills and Techniques: Incorporate wall ball shots into HIIT sessions to simulate race intensity.
  • Specific Exercises: Practice squats and overhead presses to build leg and shoulder strength.
  • Form Corrections: Ensure a proper squat depth and a consistent release point for each throw.
• Sandbag Lunges: Finished 00:33 slower than average. To improve:
  • Drills and Techniques: Practice walking lunges with a weighted sandbag for increased endurance.
  • Specific Exercises: Focus on leg press and core stability exercises to enhance strength and balance.
  • Form Corrections: Maintain an upright posture and ensure the knee does not extend beyond the toes.
• Rowing: Finished 00:22 slower than average. To improve:
  • Drills and Techniques: Include interval rowing sessions to build cardiovascular endurance and power.

Race Strategies

• Pacing: Start the race at a pace slightly below peak capacity to conserve energy for later stages, avoiding the potential burnout seen in the early fast segments.
• Transition Efficiency: Dedicate training time to practice efficient transitions between exercises to reduce Roxzone time further.
• Compromised Running: Incorporate compromised running drills where running is immediately followed by or preceded by strength exercises to simulate race conditions and improve endurance.
