- Maintain a steady pace throughout the race, avoiding going too fast in the initial segments to conserve energy for later stages.
- Focus on proper form and technique in all exercises to maximize efficiency and reduce the risk of injury.
- Break down longer segments, such as Wall Balls and Farmers Carry, into smaller sets with short rest intervals to maintain a steady pace and avoid fatigue.
- Utilize visualization techniques to mentally prepare for each segment and visualize successful completion of the exercises.

By implementing these strategies and incorporating the suggested training techniques and exercises, Lukas Storath can further enhance his performance in future Hyrox races.
