- He should also practice efficient transitions between exercises during his training sessions to reduce time spent in the Roxzone. Practicing quick and smooth transitions can help him save valuable time during the race.
- Incorporating specific training sessions that mimic the race format, with back-to-back exercises and transitions, can help Jason become more comfortable and efficient in the HYROX race format.
- Jason should also consider incorporating strength training exercises that target his weaker areas, such as the upper body for rowing and lower body for sled push. Strengthening these areas can help improve his performance in these segments.
