- Adel should focus on pacing himself throughout the race to avoid burning out too quickly. He should aim to maintain a consistent pace and not go out too fast in the beginning stages.
- Prioritize efficient transitions in the roxzone to minimize time spent resting or transitioning between exercises.
- Adel should leverage his strengths in running segments to gain an advantage and make up time.
- During strength-based segments, he should focus on maintaining good form and technique to maximize efficiency and minimize fatigue.
- It may be beneficial for Adel to work with a coach or trainer who can provide personalized guidance and training plans to help him improve in specific areas and optimize his race performance.
