Strategies

- Prioritize Strength Training: Given Llorente's strong performance in strength-based segments, he should continue to prioritize strength training exercises in his routine. This will help maintain and improve his strength and power, giving him an advantage in those segments.
- Improve Transition Time: Llorente's roxzone time was faster than average, indicating efficient transitions between exercises. However, to further improve his overall time, he should continue to work on reducing transition time and increasing overall fitness.
- Pace Yourself: Llorente should focus on pacing himself throughout the race to avoid burnout and maintain consistent performance. Starting too fast can lead to fatigue later in the race, impacting performance in the latter segments.
- Focus on Running Endurance: Based on Llorente's slower running times compared to the average, he should prioritize running training to improve his cardiovascular endurance and speed. Incorporating interval training, long runs, and tempo runs into his routine will help enhance his running performance.
- Practice Specific Exercise Techniques: Llorente should spend time practicing the techniques and form for exercises where he lost time, such as burpees broad jump, sandbag lunges, and wall balls. This will help improve efficiency and minimize wasted energy during the race.
