3. Interval Training: Incorporating interval training into his running workouts can help Jörn improve his running speed and endurance. This can be done by alternating between periods of high-intensity running and recovery periods. For example, he can perform 400-meter sprints followed by a 200-meter jog for recovery. This will help him build both speed and endurance for the running segments.

4. Transition Drills: Jörn should practice transition drills during his training to improve his efficiency during the race. This can involve practicing quick transitions between different exercises or equipment, simulating the race environment as closely as possible. By reducing transition time, Jörn can gain an advantage over his competitors.

Overall, by focusing on improving his overall fitness, reducing transition time, and targeting specific areas for improvement, Jörn Schliep can enhance his performance in future Hyrox races.
