Additionally, practicing proper technique, including a strong core and controlled arm movements, can help improve his efficiency on the Ski Erg.

Strategies

- Pacing: Pizzo should focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race. Starting too fast can lead to fatigue later on, while starting too slow can hinder his overall performance. By monitoring his pace and effort level during training sessions, he can develop a better understanding of his ideal race pace and adjust accordingly during the race.

- Transitions: Pizzo should practice quick and efficient transitions between exercises during his training sessions. This will help him reduce the time spent in the roxzone and improve his overall race time. By simulating race conditions during training, he can become more familiar with the transitions and develop strategies to optimize his time.

- Strength Training: Pizzo should prioritize strength training exercises that target the muscles used in the specific segments where he struggled. By incorporating exercises such as squats, lunges, deadlifts, and upper body exercises into his training routine, he can build the necessary strength and power to improve his performance in those segments.

- Endurance Training: Pizzo should incorporate endurance training into his routine to improve his stamina and overall performance. Long-distance running, cycling, or other cardiovascular exercises can help improve his cardiovascular fitness and endurance, allowing him to maintain a stronger pace throughout the race.

- Technique Focus: Pizzo should pay close attention to his technique in each segment and seek feedback from coaches or trainers. Making small adjustments to his form and technique can have a significant impact on his overall performance. By practicing proper form during training sessions, he can develop the muscle memory necessary to execute efficient and effective movements during the race.
