His best running lap was significantly faster than average, and he maintained a consistent pace throughout the running segments, indicating that he did not start too fast or too slow. However, there is a noticeable opportunity to enhance performance in strength-centric exercises and transitions.

Segments to Improve

• Sled Pull (00:01:46 slower than average): This segment shows the most significant potential for improvement. Guido can benefit from increasing his upper body and core strength. Specific exercises to enhance performance include:
• Pull-ups and Chin-ups: To strengthen the upper body, particularly the back and arms.
• Deadlifts: To improve overall strength and endurance.
• Core Stability Exercises: Planks and Russian twists for better core engagement during pulls.
• Roxzone (01:27 slower than average): Improving transition times can be achieved through:
• Transition Drills: Practice quick transitions between exercises in training sessions to simulate race conditions.
• Interval Training: Incorporate short bursts of varied exercises with minimal rest to mimic race conditions and improve overall fitness.
• Wall Balls (00:28 slower than average): Focus on enhancing explosive power and endurance with:
• Medicine Ball Throws: To improve explosive power.
