Strategies

During the race, Gutowski should focus on maintaining a consistent pace and avoiding burnout.

Gutowski should also consider incorporating specific training sessions that target his weaker segments. For example, he can dedicate one training session per week to sled pulling, focusing on building strength and practicing proper technique. Similarly, he can include sessions that specifically target wall balls, burpees broad jump, farmers carry, and sandbag lunges to improve his performance in these segments.

Overall, Gutowski has shown strong potential in the Hyrox race, particularly in his running segments. By focusing on improving his performance in the identified areas, he can further enhance his overall race performance.
