- It is important for Maurice to focus on maintaining proper form and technique during all segments. This will not only improve his performance but also reduce the risk of injury.
- Maurice should consider incorporating interval training into his routine to improve his overall running performance. By alternating between high-intensity sprints and recovery periods, he can improve his speed and endurance for the running segments.
- Finally, Maurice should prioritize recovery and rest days in his training schedule to allow for proper muscle recovery and prevent overtraining. Adequate rest and recovery will ensure that he can perform at his best during the race.
