High-intensity interval training (HIIT) can be beneficial in improving his cardiovascular endurance and ability to recover quickly between exercises. He should also practice efficient transitions between exercises to minimize time spent in the roxzone.

Strategies

- Gustavo should focus on pacing himself throughout the race to avoid burning out too early. It is important for him to maintain a consistent speed and energy level throughout each segment.
- He should also prioritize proper form and technique in each exercise to ensure efficiency and prevent unnecessary energy expenditure.
- Gustavo should strategize his transitions between exercises to minimize time spent in the roxzone. Practicing quick and smooth transitions during training can help improve his overall race time.
- Additionally, he should consider incorporating specific training sessions that simulate the race conditions, such as completing a series of exercises with minimal rest in between, to better prepare for the demands of the Hyrox race.

By focusing on improving the identified areas and implementing effective race strategies, Gustavo can continue to enhance his performance in future Hyrox races.
