3. Strength Training: Given Romuald's strong running profile, he should continue to focus on maintaining his running performance while incorporating strength training exercises to improve his performance in the strength-based segments. This can be achieved by incorporating strength training sessions into his weekly training routine.
4. Endurance Training: To enhance his overall endurance, Romuald should include longer distance running sessions in his training program. This will help improve his stamina and enable him to maintain a strong pace throughout the race.
5. Mental Preparation: Hyrox races can be physically and mentally demanding. Romuald should focus on developing mental strategies such as visualization, positive self-talk, and goal setting to stay motivated and maintain focus during the race.
By implementing these strategies and incorporating specific exercises and drills tailored to address the areas of improvement mentioned above, Romuald can enhance his performance in future Hyrox races.
