Strategies

To improve overall race performance, Jenny should consider the following strategies:
1. Pacing: It is important for Jenny to find a balance between pushing her limits and maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race. By pacing herself appropriately, she can avoid burning out early and maintain a strong performance throughout the race.

2. Transition Time: Jenny should aim to minimize her time spent in the roxzone (transition zones) to improve her overall race time. This can be achieved by improving her overall fitness and practicing efficient transitions between different exercises.

3. Strength Training: Since Jenny's total running time was slower than average, she should prioritize strength training exercises that target the lower body. This will help her improve her running performance and overall endurance.

4. Endurance Training: To improve her overall endurance, Jenny should incorporate interval training, tempo runs, and hill sprints into her training routine. These workouts will help her build stamina and improve her performance in longer duration events.

5. Technique and Form: Jenny should focus on practicing proper technique and form for each exercise. This will not only enhance her performance but also reduce the risk of injury. Seeking guidance from a coach or trainer to ensure correct form is highly recommended.

By implementing these strategies and incorporating the suggested training techniques and exercises, Jenny Werner can work towards improving her performance in the Hyrox race and achieving even better results in future competitions.
