What Affects These Times
- Running fitness - The 8 km of running accounts for roughly 50% of total race time. Faster runners dominate overall standings.
- Sled floor conditions - Sled push and pull times vary significantly by venue due to floor friction.
- Race experience - Men who have raced 3+ times average 8-12 minutes faster than first-timers.
- Body weight - Heavier athletes tend to excel at sled stations but lose time on running and bodyweight movements.
How to Improve
- Prioritise running - Build a base of 30-40 km per week with one tempo and one interval session.
- Strengthen sled work - Heavy sled pushes twice per week at race weight or heavier.
- Target your weakest station - Use ROXBASE to identify your slowest station split and train it specifically.
- Practise transitions - Moving efficiently from running to stations saves 2-3 minutes across a race.
- Race more often - Experience alone drops average times significantly.
