This can be achieved through interval training and specific drills targeting speed and agility. Practicing quick and efficient transitions between exercises will also help reduce time spent in the roxzone.
- Strength and Running Balance: Based on his total running time being slightly slower than average, Kai should focus on balancing his training between strength and running.
