3. Pacing: Nele should pay attention to her pacing during the race. It is important to find a balance between pushing hard and maintaining a steady pace throughout the race. Going too fast at the beginning can lead to fatigue later on, while going too slow may result in not reaching optimal performance. Nele should practice pacing strategies during training to find the right balance.
4. Focus on weaknesses: Nele should identify her weaknesses and focus on improving them during training. This could include specific exercises or drills to target those areas.
