Strategies

- Divens should focus on pacing herself appropriately throughout the race. It is important for her to start at a comfortable pace and gradually increase her intensity as the race progresses. This will help her maintain energy and prevent burnout.
- She should also prioritize efficient transitions between exercise zones (roxzones). By working on her overall fitness and improving her transition time, she can minimize the time spent in the roxzones and gain an advantage over her competitors.
- Divens should train specifically for running, as her total running time was slower than the average. Incorporating interval training, tempo runs, and hill sprints into her training routine will help improve her running performance.
- To enhance her overall performance, Divens should focus on building both strength and endurance. Incorporating strength training exercises such as squats, lunges, deadlifts, and pull-ups into her routine will help improve her overall fitness and performance in the race.
- Divens should also pay attention to her running form and technique. Working with a running coach or joining a running group can help her improve her form and efficiency, leading to better race performance.
