- Lilo should also prioritize proper form and technique during each exercise. This will not only help improve performance but also reduce the risk of injury.
- During the race, Lilo should focus on maintaining a positive mindset and staying mentally strong. Mental resilience can make a significant difference in performance, especially during challenging segments.
- Lilo should practice transitions between exercises to minimize time spent in the roxzone. This can be achieved through specific drills and timed practice sessions.
- Implementing a structured training plan that includes a combination of cardiovascular exercises, strength training, and specific drills targeting the identified areas of improvement will help Lilo reach her full potential in future races.
