Strategies

- Aytas should focus on maintaining a steady pace throughout the race, especially during the running segments. Going out too fast in the beginning can lead to fatigue later on. Aim for a consistent pace that allows for a strong finish.
- Aytas should prioritize efficient transitions between exercises in the roxzone. Practice quick and smooth transitions during training to minimize time spent in the roxzone.
- Aytas should pay attention to his running form and technique to maximize efficiency and conserve energy. Focus on maintaining a strong posture, engaging the core, and using proper stride mechanics.
- During the race, Aytas should listen to his body and adjust his effort level accordingly. Pace himself properly to ensure he has enough energy to perform well in all segments.
- Aytas should incorporate specific training sessions that mimic the race conditions, such as practicing the transitions between exercises and training at race pace. This will help him become familiar with the demands of the race and improve his overall performance.
