Segments to Improve
Overall Running: Given the slower total running time, Sam should incorporate more sustained running sessions to build endurance. Training Strategy: Include tempo runs and interval training to improve speed and endurance. Specific exercises like hill sprints and long-distance steady runs can help enhance his running efficiency.
Wall Balls: Sam performed slightly below average, with room for improvement. Training Strategy: Focus on form and technique to improve efficiency. Include drills like squat-to-press with lighter medicine balls and gradually increase weight as form improves.
Ski Erg: To improve performance, focus on rhythm and technique. Training Strategy: Incorporate intervals on the Ski Erg to practice pace control and endurance. Engage in upper body strength training to enhance power output.
Sled Pull: Although average, there is potential to make this a stronger segment. Training Strategy: Focus on back and leg strength exercises such as deadlifts and rows. Practice sled pulls with varying weights to improve power and endurance.
Race Strategies
Pacing: Begin the race with a controlled pace to avoid early fatigue. Use the first few running segments to gauge energy levels and adjust speed accordingly.
Transition Efficiency: Improve transitions between exercises by practicing quick recovery techniques and efficient equipment handling during training sessions.
Nutrition and Hydration: Develop a race-day nutrition plan to maintain energy levels. Consider carbohydrate-rich meals pre-race and hydration strategies to prevent fatigue.
