It's important to start at a sustainable pace and gradually increase intensity as the race progresses. By maintaining a steady and consistent pace, Sebastian can ensure he has enough energy and stamina to perform well throughout the race.
Additionally, Sebastian should strategize his transitions between exercises in the Roxzone to minimize time spent in this segment. Practicing efficient transitions during training sessions can help improve overall race performance.
Overall, Sebastian should continue to prioritize both his running and strength training to achieve a well-rounded performance in future races. By focusing on specific training strategies and techniques tailored to his areas of improvement, he can enhance his performance and strive for even better results in upcoming events.
