Segments to Improve

• Running Performance:

  Jing Wen's total running time was 1:54 slower than average. To improve this, focus on building endurance and pacing strategy:

  • Long Runs: Incorporate weekly long runs to build endurance. Start with a manageable distance and gradually increase by 10% each week.
  • Interval Training: Implement intervals, such as 400m repeats at a pace faster than race pace, to enhance speed and stamina.
  • Pacing Drills: Practice maintaining a steady pace over varying distances to prevent burnout during early running segments.
• Roxzone Transitions:

  The Roxzone time was 45 seconds slower than average, indicating room for improvement in transitions:

  • Transition Drills: Practice quick transitions between different exercises during training sessions to reduce downtime.
  • High-Intensity Circuit Training: Engage in circuit workouts that mimic race conditions to improve overall fitness and transition efficiency.
• Ski Erg:

  This segment was 26 seconds slower than average. Focus on the following techniques to improve:

  • Technique Refinement: Work on Ski Erg form, emphasizing a strong hip drive and consistent rhythm.
  • Resistance Training: Use resistance bands to strengthen the upper body and core, aiding in more efficient strokes.
• Sled Pull:

  Slower performance in this segment can be improved with targeted strength and technique training:

  • Strength Training: Focus on compound lifts like deadlifts and rows to build back and leg strength.
  • Technique Drills: Practice sled pulls with varying weights to improve technique and power output.

Race Strategies

• Pacing Strategy: Start the race at a conservative pace, especially during the initial running segments, to conserve energy for later stages.
• Energy Management: Prioritize carbohydrate intake before and during the race to maintain energy levels throughout the event.
• Segment Focus: Identify key segments where time can be gained, such as transitions, and plan to execute these with precision.
• Mental Preparation: Develop mental resilience strategies to maintain focus and composure, particularly during challenging segments like the Sled Pull.
