Segments to Improve

• Roxzone Transitions: Juriaan spent more time in the roxzone than the average, indicating a need to work on transitions between exercises. To improve this, he should focus on exercises that enhance overall fitness and transition efficiency. Specific drills include:

  • Compound Lifts: Incorporate squats, deadlifts, and bench presses to build overall strength.
  • Plyometric Exercises: Box jumps and burpees to improve explosive power and endurance.
• Compromised Running: Post-exercise running can often be slower. Juriaan should consider:
  • Brick Workouts: Combine strength exercises with running segments to practice running on fatigued legs.
  • Form Correction: Focus on maintaining good running form under fatigue to enhance efficiency.

Race Strategies

• Pacing Strategy: Start with a steady pace that can be maintained throughout the race. Avoid the temptation to start too fast, as it may lead to early fatigue.
• Efficient Transitions: Focus on speeding up transitions by setting a mental checklist for each exercise switch to minimize downtime.
• Nutrition and Hydration: Ensure to have a pre-race nutrition plan that supports energy levels, and practice hydration strategies during training to avoid mid-race fatigue.
• Pre-Race Warm-Up: Design a warm-up routine that activates both cardiovascular and muscular systems, preparing the body for the hybrid nature of the event.
