Segments to Improve

1. Running 7: Scott's time in Running 7 was 01:52 slower than the average. To improve this segment, he should focus on his running endurance and speed. Incorporating interval training and tempo runs into his training routine will help him build stamina and increase his pace.

2. Sled Push: Scott's time in the Sled Push segment was 01:37 slower than the average. To improve this segment, he should work on his overall strength and power. Incorporating exercises such as squats, deadlifts, lunges, and plyometric movements into his strength training routine will help him develop the necessary muscle strength and power for pushing the sled efficiently. Additionally, focusing on proper technique and body positioning during the sled push will optimize his performance.

3. Sandbag Lunges: Scott's time in the Sandbag Lunges segment was 00:56 slower than the average.
