Strategies
1. Pacing: Dominik should focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race to avoid burning out too quickly. This can be achieved by monitoring his heart rate and using a GPS watch to track his pace. By pacing himself effectively, he can ensure he has enough energy to perform well in all segments of the race.
2. Transition Time: Dominik should work on improving his transition time between segments, as indicated by the slower Roxzone time. This can be done by practicing quick and efficient transitions during training sessions. He can also focus on improving his overall fitness level to reduce fatigue during transitions.
3. Strength Training: Dominik should incorporate strength training exercises into his training routine to improve his overall strength and power. This can help him perform better in segments that require strength, such as the sled push and sled pull. Exercises such as deadlifts, squats, and kettlebell swings can be beneficial for building strength and power.
4. Endurance Training: To improve his overall endurance, Dominik should include long runs, steady-state cardio workouts, and interval training in his training routine. This will help him build the necessary stamina to maintain a consistent pace throughout the race.
