Segments to Improve

• Roxzone (00:10:02, 01:57 slower than average, 86 Percentile Rank)

  Jared's time in the Roxzone suggests that transitions are an area needing improvement. Efficient transitions between exercises are crucial for optimizing race time.

  Training Strategies:
  • Practice quick transitions by setting up simulation circuits that mimic race conditions.
  • Include drills that focus on rapid equipment changes and mental preparation for the next exercise.
  • Enhance overall fitness with interval training to improve recovery time between exercises.
• Sandbag Lunges (00:06:37, 00:46 slower than average, 80 Percentile Rank)

  This segment indicates a need for enhanced lower body strength and endurance.

  Training Strategies:
  • Incorporate weighted lunges and Bulgarian split squats into regular workouts.
  • Focus on form and technique to ensure efficient movement and avoid unnecessary fatigue.
  • Drills such as walking lunges with increasing weights can also help build endurance and strength.
• Wall Balls (00:07:55, 00:17 slower than average, 61 Percentile Rank)

  Improvement in this area will enhance overall race performance, as it is a key strength component.

  Training Strategies:
  • Regularly practice wall ball exercises, focusing on technique to ensure efficient energy use.
  • Increase upper body strength with exercises like push presses and medicine ball throws.
  • Incorporate core strengthening exercises to maintain stability and improve accuracy during wall balls.
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:06:48, 00:37 slower than average, 71 Percentile Rank)

  Jared can improve explosive power and efficiency in this segment.

  Training Strategies:
  • Practice burpees with an emphasis on minimizing transition time from floor to jump.
  • Incorporate plyometric exercises such as box jumps to build explosive leg power.
  • Work on cardiovascular conditioning to enhance endurance for this high-intensity movement.
• Farmers Carry (00:02:31, 00:05 slower than average, 61 Percentile Rank)

  Improving grip strength and core stability can lead to better performance in this segment.

  Training Strategies:
  • Incorporate farmers walk with varying weights and distances to improve grip and core endurance.
  • Strengthen forearms and grip with exercises like dead hangs and wrist curls.
  • Focus on maintaining an upright posture to enhance efficiency during the carry.

Race Strategies

• To avoid a slow start, Jared should incorporate a dynamic warm-up routine that mimics race conditions, ensuring a faster pace from the beginning.
• Implement pacing strategies to maintain consistency across running segments, avoiding burnout in the early stages of the race.
• Focus on mental preparation techniques to enhance focus and transition efficiency between exercises, especially in the Roxzone.
• During strength-based segments, prioritize form and technique to conserve energy and reduce time lost to fatigue or improper execution.
