Incorporating interval training, tempo runs, and hill sprints can help improve his running speed and overall endurance. Additionally, focusing on proper running form and technique, including maintaining a steady pace and avoiding overstriding, can also contribute to better performance.

Strategies

- Pacing: Preißer should focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race to avoid burning out early or struggling in later segments. Finding a sustainable pace that allows for efficient movement and conserves energy will be key to improving overall performance.
- Transitions: Preißer should work on minimizing his transition time between segments to ensure a smooth and efficient race. Practicing quick and controlled transitions during training sessions can help improve his overall race time.
- Strength Training: Preißer should prioritize strength training exercises that target the specific muscle groups involved in each segment. Incorporating exercises that mimic the movements and demands of the HYROX race, such as sled pushes and pulls, sandbag lunges, and wall balls, can help improve his performance in these segments.
- Running Endurance: Preißer should focus on increasing his running endurance through specific training sessions. Incorporating longer distance runs, tempo runs, and interval training can help improve his overall running performance and enable him to maintain a steady pace throughout the race.
