  • Long Distance Runs: Include longer runs at a steady pace to build cardiovascular endurance.
  • Hill Sprints: Enhance power and improve running form by practicing sprints on an incline.
• Burpees Broad Jump: This segment was significantly slower than average. Focus on improving explosive power and endurance. Training Strategies:
  • Plyometric Drills: Incorporate box jumps and squat jumps to build explosive strength.
  • Burpee Technique Training: Focus on form and efficiency to reduce time per burpee.
  • Interval Burpees: Perform burpees in timed intervals to build endurance and speed.
• Sled Pull: Improve pulling strength and technique. Training Strategies:
  • Resistance Band Rows: Strengthen back and arm muscles, crucial for sled pulling.
  • Weighted Sled Drags: Practice with different weights to improve pulling power and technique.
  • Core Stability Exercises: Enhance core stability to maintain form during pulls.
• Sandbag Lunges: Focus on leg strength and endurance. Training Strategies:
  • Weighted Lunges: Increase leg strength by performing lunges with added weight.
  • Balance and Stability Drills: Use single-leg exercises to improve balance and control.
  • Core Strengthening: Include core exercises to support stability during lunges.
• Rowing: Focus on technique and endurance. Training Strategies:
  • Rowing Intervals: Alternate between high-intensity rowing and rest to build speed and endurance.
  • Technique Drills: Work with a coach to refine rowing technique, focusing on efficient stroke mechanics.
  • Strength Training: Incorporate exercises like deadlifts and bent-over rows to build rowing strength.

Race Strategies

• Pacing: Develop a race plan that balances initial speed with sustainable pacing to prevent fatigue in later stages. Consider starting at a slightly reduced pace to conserve energy for the latter half of the race.
• Transition Efficiency: Practice quick transitions between exercises and running to reduce Roxzone time. This can be achieved through specific drills that simulate race conditions.
• Nutrition and Hydration: Implement a nutrition and hydration strategy to maintain energy levels throughout the race. Ensure adequate intake before and during the race.
