Segments to Improve:

• Burpees Broad Jump: With a time of 00:07:59, Michał was 02:52 slower than the average in this segment. To improve his Burpees Broad Jump, Michał could focus on high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts that target the lower body and core muscles. Plyometric exercises like box jumps, jump squats, and lunge jumps can also help enhance explosiveness and power.
• Roxzone: Michał’s Roxzone time was slower than the average by 00:52. To improve this, he could focus on enhancing overall endurance and fitness. High-intensity circuit training, focusing on both strength and cardio, could help. He might also benefit from specific transition drills to become more efficient in moving from one segment to another.
• Sandbag Lunges: Michał’s performance in the Sandbag Lunges was slower by 00:09 compared to the average. To improve in this area, he could incorporate more weighted lunge variations in his training. Strength training, specifically targeting the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, can also be beneficial.
• Rowing: Michał’s rowing time was 00:18 slower than the average. To enhance his rowing performance, he could work on improving his rowing technique. High-intensity rowing drills and strength training focusing on the back, shoulder, and arm muscles could also help improve performance in this segment.

Race Strategies:

During the race, Michał should aim to maintain a consistent pace throughout, avoiding starting too slow or too fast. Specifically, in the strength segments of the race, he should focus on maintaining proper form and technique to prevent fatigue and potential injuries. Utilizing efficient transition techniques can also help save time in the Roxzone.

As strength segments appear to be Michał's weaker areas, he should prioritize these areas during training. Preparing for compromised running scenarios post strength exercises could also be beneficial. For example, incorporating running drills after strength training can help Michał get accustomed to running under fatigue. Finally, regular practice of the specific exercises in the race, such as the Burpees Broad Jump and Sandbag Lunges, can help Michał improve his performance in these segments.
