To enhance his running abilities, he should incorporate tempo runs, fartlek training, and interval training into his routine. These workouts will help improve his speed and endurance.
Strategies
1. Pacing: Vova should focus on maintaining a steady pace throughout the race. It is important to avoid starting too fast and burning out early. By pacing himself appropriately, he can ensure consistent energy levels throughout the race.

3. Specific Training: Vova should tailor his training to his strengths and weaknesses. If he wants to improve his running performance, he should prioritize running workouts, incorporating both long-distance runs and interval training. If he wants to improve his strength, he should focus on resistance training exercises such as deadlifts, pull-ups, and farmer's carries.
4. Mental Preparation: Vova should work on mental strategies to stay focused and motivated during the race. Techniques such as visualization, positive self-talk, and setting small goals throughout the race can help him maintain a strong mental state and push through challenging moments.
Overall, Vova Mihura has shown potential in the Hyrox race, but there are areas where he can improve his performance.
