A lot of athletes obsess over sleds and wall balls.
But look at the numbers.
In most races, running makes up roughly half the total race time.
That means improving your running pace by even 10 seconds per kilometre could save you 1 minute 20 seconds across the race.
Meanwhile shaving 10 seconds off a station often takes months of strength improvement.
This doesn’t mean stations don’t matter.
But it does mean your running is usually the biggest performance lever.
