However, she should aim to maintain a steady pace without starting too fast or slowing down significantly towards the end of the race. Proper pacing can help optimize performance and prevent fatigue.
- Transitions: To improve the Roxzone time, which was 00:48 faster than the average, Rebecca should focus on improving her overall fitness and transition time. This can be achieved through specific training and practice of transitions between exercises. Incorporating circuit training and interval training into her routine can help improve overall fitness and prepare her for quick transitions during the race.
- Mental Preparation: Hyrox races require both physical and mental endurance. Rebecca should focus on mental preparation techniques such as visualization, positive self-talk, and goal setting to enhance her mental strength and resilience during the race.
