Based on the total running time, Joshua appears to have a stronger runner profile. His strength lies in his running capability, which enables him to gain time during these segments. However, his performance in the strength segments and transitions needs improvement.
Given Joshua's strengths in running, a viable strategy would be to maintain a steady pace during the running segments to conserve energy for the strength segments. This would help him maintain a consistent performance throughout the race.
For the strength segments, focusing on proper technique and form can help reduce the risk of fatigue and injury. Additionally, incorporating specific strength training exercises into his workout routine can help improve his performance in these segments.
During transitions, quick recovery and efficient movement can help minimize time spent in the Roxzone. Practicing transitions during training can also help improve efficiency during the actual race.
