2. Run Total: Glenn's total running time was 00:32 slower than the average. To improve this segment, he should focus on improving his overall fitness and endurance. Increasing his weekly running mileage and incorporating interval training can help him improve his running speed and stamina.

3. Sled Push: Glenn lost 00:22 compared to the average time. To improve this segment, he should focus on building strength and power in his lower body. Exercises such as sled pushes, squats, and deadlifts can help him improve his pushing strength. Additionally, working on his technique and finding the most efficient way to push the sled can help him save time during the race.

4. Ski Erg: Glenn lost 00:19 compared to the average time. To improve this segment, he should focus on improving his upper body and cardiovascular endurance. Incorporating exercises such as rowing, push-ups, and burpees into his training routine can help him improve his upper body strength and stamina.

5. Farmers Carry: Glenn lost 00:17 compared to the average time. To improve this segment, he should focus on improving his grip strength and overall endurance.

Strategies

During the race, Glenn should focus on maintaining a steady pace and not starting too fast. It's important for him to conserve energy for the segments where he tends to lose the most time. He should also pay attention to his transitions in the roxzone and aim to make them as efficient as possible.

To improve his overall performance, Glenn should incorporate specific training sessions that target the identified weak segments. For example, he can dedicate one training day per week to focus on sandbag lunges, another day for sled pushes, and so on. By targeting these specific areas of improvement, Glenn can enhance his overall performance in future races.
