Strategies

- Jens should work on pacing himself throughout the race to ensure consistent performance in each segment. Starting too fast can lead to fatigue later on, while starting too slow can result in wasted time.
- Incorporate interval training and speed drills into his training routine to improve his overall speed and endurance.
- Focus on efficient transitions between exercise zones to minimize time spent in the Roxzone.
- Practice proper form and technique for each exercise to optimize performance and minimize energy expenditure.
- Prioritize strength training exercises that target areas of weakness, such as grip strength and lower body strength for improved performance in specific segments.
- Incorporate specific workouts that simulate the demands of the race, such as circuit training or combining exercises in a sequence that mimics the race course.
- Regularly assess and track progress to identify areas of improvement and adjust training strategies accordingly.
