Segments to Improve

• Burpees Broad Jump (00:01:08 slower than average)
  • Drills and Techniques: Focus on improving explosive power and endurance through plyometric exercises such as box jumps and squat jumps. Incorporate HIIT workouts to enhance cardiovascular endurance and efficiency in transitioning from running to strength exercises.
  • Specific Exercises: Burpee variations, broad jumps, and ladder drills to improve agility and transition speed.
• Wall Balls (00:00:52 slower than average)
  • Drills and Techniques: Work on increasing shoulder and leg strength through compound movements. Practice wall ball shots with varying weights to improve power and accuracy.
  • Specific Exercises: Thrusters, medicine ball slams, and overhead squats to enhance power and endurance.
• Roxzone (00:00:17 slower than average)
  • Drills and Techniques: Improve transition efficiency by practicing quick changes between exercises in training. Focus on cardiovascular conditioning to reduce recovery time needed between zones.
  • Specific Exercises: Circuit training with minimal rest, shuttle runs, and agility drills to improve speed and efficiency.
• Sled Push (00:00:10 slower than average)
  • Drills and Techniques: Enhance lower body strength and endurance with sled pushes and pulls at varying weights. Incorporate resistance training to build explosive power.
  • Specific Exercises: Leg presses, deadlifts, and sled drags to build strength and power.
• Rowing (00:00:26 slower than average)
  • Drills and Techniques: Focus on technique and power in rowing. Work on maintaining a steady stroke rate and improving core strength for better performance.
  • Specific Exercises: Rowing intervals, core stability exercises, and back strengthening routines.
• Ski Erg (00:00:27 slower than average)
  • Drills and Techniques: Improve upper body endurance and technique. Focus on maintaining strong and consistent pulls throughout.
  • Specific Exercises: Lat pull-downs, triceps extensions, and ski erg intervals.

Race Strategies

• Starting Pace: Given the slower first running segment, consider starting at a slightly faster pace to gain an early advantage without compromising endurance.
• Transition Efficiency: Practice transitions between zones to minimize time spent in the Roxzone. Focus on maintaining a steady heart rate to recover more quickly.
• Balanced Training: As a strong runner, incorporate more strength training into the routine to build endurance and efficiency in strength-based segments.
• Compromised Running: Practice running after strength exercises to simulate race conditions and improve compromised running ability.
