Race Strategies

• Pacing Strategy: Maintain a balanced approach by not starting too quickly in the initial running segments to conserve energy for later stages. Monitor pace closely and adjust as needed to prevent burnout.
• Transition Efficiency: Minimize time spent in the Roxzone by practicing quick transitions. Visualize each transition before the race and have a clear mental plan for each transition phase.
• Strength-Endurance Balance: Focus training on improving strength exercises without compromising running efficiency. Implement hybrid workout sessions that simulate race conditions, integrating strength exercises followed immediately by running intervals.
• Pre-Race Preparation: Include a comprehensive warm-up routine that mimics race conditions to prepare the body for the varied demands of the event.
