Strategies

1. Pacing: Johanna's overall pacing in the race was relatively consistent, with most of her splits being faster than or close to the average.

It is important for her to find a balance between pushing herself and conserving energy to maintain a strong performance throughout the race.

2. Strength Training: As Johanna's performance in the strength-focused segments (Sled Push, Sled Pull, and Burpees Broad Jump) was particularly strong, she should continue to prioritize strength training in her workouts. Incorporating exercises such as deadlifts, kettlebell swings, and plyometric movements can help further improve her strength and power, leading to better performance in these segments.

3. Running Training: While Johanna's overall running time was slower than the average, her best running lap was faster than the average. To improve her running performance, she should focus on incorporating more running-specific workouts into her training routine. Long runs, tempo runs, and intervals can help improve her endurance, speed, and running technique. Additionally, she should consider incorporating strength and cross-training exercises to improve her overall fitness and prevent injuries.
