Segments to Improve

• Roxzone: Aleksandra spent significantly more time in the Roxzone than average. Improving transition times can enhance overall race time. Training Strategies:
  • Transition Drills: Practice quick transitions between various exercises. Set up a circuit that mimics race conditions and focus on reducing transition time between each exercise.
  • Overall Conditioning: Include high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions to improve cardiovascular fitness, which can reduce the need for rest during transitions.
• Sled Pull and Sled Push: These segments were considerably slower than average. Improving strength and technique in these areas is crucial. Training Strategies:
  • Strength Training: Incorporate exercises like squats, deadlifts, and leg presses to build lower body strength.
  • Technique Focus: Practice sled pulls and pushes with varied weights to develop a more efficient technique. Focus on maintaining a low center of gravity and using legs for power.
• Burpees Broad Jump: Time spent here was significantly slower, indicating a need for improved explosive power and endurance. Training Strategies:
  • Plyometric Training: Exercises such as box jumps, jump squats, and burpee variations can enhance explosive power.
  • Endurance Drills: Perform sets of burpees with minimal rest between to build muscular endurance.
• Farmers Carry: This segment lagged notably, suggesting a need for grip strength and core stability improvement. Training Strategies:
  • Grip Strength Exercises: Incorporate dead hangs, wrist curls, and grip trainers into the routine.
  • Core Workouts: Strengthen the core with exercises like planks, Russian twists, and farmer's walks.

Race Strategies

• Pacing Strategy: Consider starting the race at a slightly faster pace to avoid falling behind early, maintaining consistency without compromising late-race energy.
• Transition Efficiency: Focus on minimizing transition times by rehearsing quick gear changes and mental preparation for each subsequent exercise.
• Compromised Running Training: Practice running immediately after strength exercises like sled pulls and pushes to simulate race conditions, helping to adjust the body to the demands of compromised running.
