Strategies

- Jens should focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race to avoid burning out too early. Strategically plan his effort levels for each segment to ensure he has enough energy for the entire race.
- Prioritize efficient transitions between segments to minimize time spent in the Roxzone. Practice quick and smooth transitions during training sessions to improve overall race time.
- During the running segments, Jens should aim for a steady pace that allows him to maintain good form and endurance. Avoid starting too fast and conserve energy for the later stages of the race.
- Incorporate specific training sessions that mimic the demands of the race, including combinations of running and strength exercises. This will help Jens improve his overall performance in both aspects of the race.
- Set specific goals for each segment and work on improving performance in those areas during training. Monitor progress and make adjustments to training strategies accordingly.
