Strategies

- Kenneth should focus on pacing himself properly throughout the race to avoid burning out too early. He should aim for a consistent and sustainable pace that allows him to maintain his speed and energy levels throughout the entire race.
- He should also prioritize his transitions between the exercise zones (Roxzones) to minimize time lost. Practicing quick and efficient transitions during training can help him improve his overall race time.
- Kenneth should consider incorporating specific strength and conditioning exercises into his training routine to improve his overall fitness and endurance. This can include exercises such as circuit training, weightlifting, and plyometrics.
- He should also work on improving his mental toughness and resilience to push through fatigue and discomfort during the race. Incorporating mental training techniques, such as visualization and positive self-talk, can help improve his mental strength and performance.
