Race Strategies

• Transition Efficiency: Prioritize quick transitions between exercise zones to reduce Roxzone time. Practice this during training to engrain a seamless flow from running to exercises.
• Strength Training Focus: Since running is a strong suit, balance training by incorporating more strength exercises to improve performance in strength-based segments.
• Consistent Pacing: Maintain the strong pacing strategy seen in running segments 2 through 8, ensuring not to start too fast to conserve energy for strength exercises later in the race.
• Compromised Running Scenarios: Train running after heavy strength exercises to mimic race conditions and improve the ability to maintain running speed under fatigue.
• Nutrition and Hydration: Implement a race-day nutrition strategy that includes proper hydration and energy intake to sustain performance throughout the race.
