Strategies

- Jan should focus on pacing himself properly throughout the race to avoid burnout and maintain a consistent speed. He should start at a comfortable pace and gradually increase his intensity as the race progresses.
- Jan should prioritize efficient transitions between exercises to minimize time spent in the roxzone. Practicing quick and smooth transitions during training sessions can help him save valuable time during the race.
- Jan should incorporate specific training sessions that mimic the race conditions, such as combining running with strength exercises, to improve his ability to perform well in the hybrid nature of the HYROX race.
- Jan should consider working with a coach or joining a training group to receive guidance and support in his training. A coach can help develop personalized training plans and provide feedback on form and technique to maximize performance improvement.
