Strategies

1. Pacing: Ludovico should focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race. Avoiding starting too fast and burning out early can help him maintain his energy levels and performance throughout the race. Monitoring his heart rate and using a heart rate monitor during the race can help him stay within his target zone and avoid overexertion.

2. Transitions: Ludovico should practice specific transitions during his training sessions to improve his efficiency in moving between exercise zones. Setting up a mock race environment during training, where he transitions between exercises quickly and efficiently, can help him improve his overall transition time during the actual race.

3. Mental Preparation: Ludovico should mentally prepare for the race by visualizing himself successfully completing each segment and maintaining a positive mindset throughout the race. Incorporating mental training techniques, such as visualization and positive affirmations, can help improve his mental focus and performance during the race.
