Segments to Improve
- Wall Balls: This was one of Gerard's slower segments, with a time 03:03 slower than the average. To improve on this, Gerard could consider incorporating more functional strength training into his routine, specifically focusing on lower body and core strength. Exercises like squats, deadlifts, and kettlebell swings could be beneficial. Additionally, practicing the specific movement of the wall ball with lighter weights could help improve his form and endurance for this exercise.
- Burpees Broad Jump: With a time 02:15 slower than average, this is another area for improvement. Gerard could work on his explosive power and plyometric training to improve his broad jump. Box jumps, jump squats, and burpees could be added to his training routine. Additionally, mobility exercises like lunges and hamstring stretches could help improve his flexibility for the burpee portion of the exercise.
- Sandbag Lunges: Completing this segment 01:58 slower than average suggests Gerard could benefit from improved lower body strength and endurance. Lunges with weights, hill runs, and resistance band exercises for the glutes and thighs could help improve performance in this area. Practicing the specific movement of lunging with a sandbag could also help Gerard become more comfortable with this exercise.
Race Strategies
Based on Gerard's performance, it appears that he starts the race strong, particularly in the running segments. To capitalize on this strength, Gerard could aim to maintain a steady pace throughout the running segments to preserve his energy for the strength-based exercises. As he improves his strength and endurance through specific training, Gerard could aim to minimize rest time between exercises and transitions, known as the roxzone. This could help him maintain a more consistent performance throughout the race.
