This suggests that pacing and endurance may be areas for focus in future training.

Segments to Improve

• Run Total: The total running time was slower than average by 01:04. To improve this, Terence could focus on endurance training, incorporating long, steady distance runs and tempo runs into his routine. Intervals and hill sprints would be beneficial for building speed and strength. A running coach could provide invaluable advice on running form to maximize efficiency.
• Burpees Broad Jump: This segment was slower than average by 01:19, suggesting a need for improvement in explosive strength and coordination. Plyometric training, including exercises such as box jumps and power skips, could be beneficial. Practicing the burpee broad jump movement specifically will also help to improve technique and speed.
• Wall Balls: Terence was slower than average by 00:54 in this segment. To improve, he could focus on building strength and power in the lower body and shoulders. Squats, lunges, shoulder presses and kettlebell swings could be incorporated into his strength training routine. Practicing the wall ball movement specifically, ensuring correct form and efficient movement, will also improve performance in this segment.
• Roxzone: Although Terence was faster than average in this segment, there is still room for improvement. Transitioning more swiftly between exercises, and maintaining a steady pace rather than resting, could improve this time. High-intensity interval training could be beneficial for improving fitness in this area.
• Farmers Carry: Terence was slower than average by 00:08 in this segment. To improve, he could incorporate specific farmers carry drills into his strength training routine, focusing on grip strength and core stability. Deadlifts and shrugs could also be beneficial for building strength in the necessary muscles.

Race Strategies

Based on his performance, Terence could benefit from a more conservative start in the race, ensuring he has the energy to maintain a steady pace throughout all segments. Focusing on maintaining a steady pace during the running segments, rather than attempting to sprint at certain points, could help to conserve energy and improve overall time. Additionally, practicing transitions between exercises could help to minimize rest time and improve the overall flow of his race.
