- Strength Training: While Beth performed well in the running segments, she can benefit from incorporating more strength training into her routine. This can help improve her overall performance and prevent muscle imbalances and injuries. Exercises such as squats, lunges, deadlifts, and plyometric movements can be included to enhance her strength and power.
- Endurance Training: To improve her performance in the longer running segments, Beth should focus on building her endurance. This can be achieved through long runs, tempo runs, and interval training, gradually increasing the distance and intensity over time.
- Interval Training: Incorporating interval training into her routine can help Beth improve her speed and efficiency. This can involve alternating between high-intensity efforts and recovery periods, such as sprint intervals or fartlek runs.
- Mental Preparation: Hyrox races require mental toughness and resilience. Beth should practice mental preparation techniques such as visualization and positive self-talk to enhance her mental strength during the race.
