His performance suggests a strong running capability with room for improvement in strength-based exercises and transitions.

Segments to Improve

• Wall Balls: Shekhar was 1:25 slower than average, placing him in the 95th percentile. To improve:
  • Technique Focus: Ensure proper squat depth and explosive upward motion. Consider practicing with lighter weights to perfect form before increasing load.
  • Strength Training: Incorporate exercises like thrusters, goblet squats, and overhead presses to build strength and endurance.
  • Drills: Perform high-rep wall ball drills with emphasis on maintaining a steady rhythm and breathing technique.
• Roxzone: With a time 1:13 slower than average, focusing on transition efficiency can cut precious seconds.
  • Transition Drills: Practice quick transitions between exercises with minimal rest. Set up a circuit style training to simulate competition conditions.
  • Overall Fitness: Enhance cardiovascular fitness through HIIT workouts to reduce fatigue and improve transition speed.
• Sled Pull: This was 1:12 slower than average. Improvements can be made by:
  • Technique: Focus on body positioning—stay low and use legs effectively. Engage core for better stability.
  • Strength Training: Incorporate exercises like deadlifts, bent-over rows, and core workouts to develop pulling strength.
• Burpees Broad Jump: 11 seconds slower than average. Improve by:
  • Plyometric Training: Include box jumps and broad jumps to enhance explosive power.
  • Form Correction: Practice smooth transitions from burpee to jump, focusing on minimizing time on the ground.

Race Strategies

• Pacing Strategy: Maintain a balanced pace throughout the race. Avoid starting too conservatively to maximize potential in running segments while maintaining energy for strength exercises.
• Strength-Endurance Balance: Focus on building strength endurance to complement running capability. Integrate compound movements into routine to improve overall performance in strength-based exercises.
• Transition Efficiency: Practice rapid transitions with minimal rest. Simulate race conditions in training to develop faster roxzone times.
• Compromised Running Drills: Engage in running drills post-strength exercises to simulate fatigue conditions and improve recovery running capability.
