Strategies

1. Pacing: Based on Dylan's overall performance and splits, it is evident that he has a strong running profile.

2. Transitions: To improve his performance in the roxzone, Dylan should practice quick and efficient transitions between exercises during his training sessions. This will help him reduce the time spent in the roxzone and maintain momentum throughout the race. He can set up mock race scenarios during training, timing himself during transitions and aiming to improve his time with each practice.

3. Strength Training: In order to improve his performance in segments such as the sled push and wall balls, Dylan should incorporate specific strength training exercises into his routine. Focusing on building lower body and upper body strength will help him excel in these segments. Additionally, incorporating plyometric exercises, such as box jumps or medicine ball slams, can help improve his explosive power and overall performance in the race.

4. Endurance Training: While Dylan has a strong running profile, it is important for him to continue to build his endurance to maintain his performance throughout the race. Incorporating long-distance runs, interval training, and hill sprints into his training routine will help improve his overall endurance and performance in the running segments.
