- He should also pay attention to his transitions in the roxzone, aiming to minimize the time spent resting or transitioning between exercises. Improving overall fitness and working on faster transitions will help him gain an advantage in this aspect of the race.
- Christoph should consider incorporating specific training sessions that simulate the demands of the Hyrox race, including interval training, strength training, and endurance runs. This will help him better prepare for the race and improve his performance in each segment.
- Lastly, he should focus on recovery and proper nutrition leading up to the race to ensure optimal performance on race day. Rest and proper fueling will help him maintain energy levels and reduce the risk of fatigue during the race.
