Strategies

- Max should focus on pacing himself throughout the race to avoid burning out too early. Consistency in his effort and maintaining a steady speed will help him maintain a strong performance throughout the race.
- Max should also consider strategizing his transitions between exercises to minimize time spent in the Roxzone. Practicing quick and efficient transitions during training will help him save valuable time during the race.
- Max should prioritize his strengths, such as running, but also dedicate specific training sessions to improve his weaknesses, such as strength exercises and drills.
- It is important for Max to listen to his body during the race and adjust his effort accordingly. Pushing too hard without considering fatigue and recovery can lead to a decrease in performance.
