Segments to Improve

• Wall Balls (00:01:29 slower than 25th percentile): Focus on strength and accuracy. Training Strategy: Incorporate wall ball drills with varied weights to improve muscle endurance and technique. Emphasize on maintaining a steady rhythm and proper squat depth to enhance efficiency.
• Exercises: Squat throws, medicine ball sit-ups, and thrusters
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:01:24 slower than 25th percentile): Improve explosive power and technique. Training Strategy: Practice explosive drills and focus on the transition from the burpee to the jump to minimize time loss.
• Exercises: Box jumps, plyometric push-ups, and burpee variations
• Sandbag Lunges (00:01:08 slower than 25th percentile): Enhance balance and core strength. Training Strategy: Integrate sandbag training sessions focusing on stability and stride length to improve lunge efficiency.
• Exercises: Walking lunges with sandbag, Bulgarian split squats, and core stability drills
• Sled Push (00:01:06 slower than 25th percentile): Build lower body strength and endurance. Training Strategy: Include heavy sled push/pull workouts to strengthen the quads and glutes, which are critical for this segment.
• Exercises: Heavy sled push/pull, leg press, and hill sprints
• Ski Erg (00:00:31 slower than 25th percentile): Improve aerobic capacity and technique. Training Strategy: Focus on interval training to enhance power output and efficiency while using the ski erg.
• Exercises: Ski erg intervals, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and upper body strength exercises
• Farmers Carry (00:00:27 slower than 25th percentile): Work on grip strength and endurance. Training Strategy: Regularly practice farmers carry with increased weights and distances to improve grip endurance and core stability.
• Exercises: Farmers walk, deadlifts, and grip strength exercises

Race Strategies

• Optimize Transitions: Practice quick transitions between exercise zones to reduce time spent in the roxzone. Focus on efficient gear changes and minimal rest times.
• Energy Management: Maintain a steady pace throughout, ensuring energy is conserved for strength-intensive segments such as the sled push and sandbag lunges.
• Pre-race Preparation: Conduct a warm-up routine that includes dynamic stretches and light cardio to prepare the muscles for high-intensity efforts.
• Post-exercise Running: Incorporate compromised running drills in training to simulate running performance immediately after strength exercises.
