- Lachlan should focus on maintaining a steady pace throughout the race to avoid burning out early on. Proper pacing is crucial for endurance events like Hyrox.
- He should also ensure efficient transitions between exercises and minimize the time spent in the Roxzone. Practicing quick and smooth transitions during training can help improve his overall race time.
- Lachlan should prioritize his training based on his profile. If his total running time is faster than average, he should continue to train for strength to maintain his advantage. If his running time is slower than average, he should prioritize running training to improve his speed and endurance.
- It is important for Lachlan to incorporate strength training exercises that target the specific muscle groups used in each segment of the race. This will help improve his performance and reduce the risk of injury.
