Strategies

1. Pacing: It is important for Lucien to maintain a steady pace throughout the race. Starting too fast can lead to fatigue later on, while starting too slow may result in difficulty catching up. He should develop a pacing strategy based on his training and fitness level, ensuring that he conserves energy for the later segments of the race.

2. Transitions: Lucien should aim to minimize the time spent in the roxzone, as a slower time indicates more rest or longer transition time. To improve this segment, he should focus on improving his overall fitness and reducing transition time. Incorporating interval training and circuit training into his routine can help improve his overall fitness and conditioning, leading to faster transitions during the race.

3. Training Focus: Based on Lucien's faster than average total running time, he has a more runner profile.
