Segments to Improve

• Wall Balls (00:05:28)

  This segment was significantly slower than average. To improve:

  • Drills: Practice wall ball throws with a focus on explosive power and proper form. Aim for a higher target to increase strength.
  • Exercises: Incorporate squats, plyometric training, and shoulder presses to build strength and endurance.
  • Form Correction: Ensure a full squat and quick transition back to a standing position. Focus on a smooth catch and throw rhythm.
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:06:19)

  Improvement needed in speed and efficiency:

  • Drills: Perform burpee intervals with a focus on minimizing ground contact time.
  • Exercises: Include plyometric exercises such as box jumps and broad jumps to enhance explosive power.
  • Form Correction: Focus on maintaining a consistent pace and utilizing a powerful hip extension during jumps.
• Sandbag Lunges (00:04:34)

  Focus on improving lunge stability and speed:

  • Drills: Practice lunges with varying weights and speeds to build strength and stability.
  • Exercises: Incorporate core strengthening exercises, as well as single-leg balance drills.
  • Form Correction: Ensure proper knee alignment and a strong core to maintain balance and prevent injury.
• Rowing (00:05:35)

  Efficiency and stroke power need enhancement:

  • Drills: Practice intervals on the rowing machine with a focus on stroke rate and power.
  • Exercises: Include upper body strength training such as bent-over rows and deadlifts.

• Sled Push (00:02:38)

  Enhance push strength and technique:

  • Drills: Practice pushing with increased resistance to build power and endurance.
  • Exercises: Incorporate leg press, squats, and core workouts to improve pushing power.
  • Form Correction: Maintain a low stance and engage the core to maximize force transfer.

Race Strategies

• Start Strong, Maintain Pace: Given the strong start in Running 1, aim to maintain a consistent pace without exhausting energy reserves too early.
• Efficient Transitions: Focus on reducing time in the Roxzone by practicing quick and efficient transitions between exercises.
• Energy Management: Develop a race plan that balances energy expenditure between running and strength exercises, conserving energy for more challenging segments.
• Compromised Running Drills: Practice running immediately after high-intensity exercises to simulate race conditions and improve performance in compromised scenarios.
