Strategies

- Focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race, especially in the running segments. Avoid starting too fast and burning out later in the race.
- Prioritize strength training to improve performance in the strength-based segments such as rowing, sled push, and sled pull. Incorporate exercises that target the specific muscle groups used in these segments, such as rows, pull-ups, and farmer's carries.
- Incorporate interval training and tempo runs into the training routine to improve running speed and endurance. Vary the intensity and distance of the intervals to simulate race conditions.
- Practice proper form and technique in all exercises to maximize efficiency and prevent injury.
- Pay attention to the transition times in the roxzone and work on improving overall fitness and transition speed to minimize time lost during the race.

By focusing on these areas of improvement and implementing the suggested training strategies and techniques, Juerg Jordi can enhance his overall performance in future Hyrox races.
