- Prioritize speed and endurance training to improve overall running performance.
- Incorporate specific training sessions targeting the worst-performing segments to improve performance in those areas.
- Implement proper rest and recovery strategies to prevent overtraining and reduce the risk of injury.
- Practice transitions between exercises to improve overall efficiency and reduce time spent in the roxzone.
- Seek guidance from a coach or trainer to develop a comprehensive training plan tailored to his specific needs and goals.
