Implementing a well-planned pacing strategy, such as negative splitting (running the second half of the race faster than the first), can help him maintain energy and performance throughout the race.

- Transition Efficiency: Jan should focus on improving his transition time between segments to minimize time spent in the roxzone. Practicing quick and efficient transitions during training sessions can help him shave off valuable seconds during the race.

- Mental Preparation: Jan should develop mental strategies to stay focused and motivated during the race. Visualizing success, setting small goals for each segment, and maintaining a positive mindset can help him stay mentally strong and perform at his best.

- Hydration and Nutrition: Proper hydration and nutrition are crucial for optimal performance during endurance races. Jan should develop a hydration and nutrition plan tailored to his individual needs and practice it during training sessions to ensure he has enough energy and stamina to perform well on race day.

By implementing these strategies and focusing on areas of improvement, Jan can enhance his performance in future Hyrox races and achieve his full potential as a fitness athlete.
