Incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts can help improve his cardiovascular endurance and overall fitness. Additionally, practicing efficient transitions between exercises during training sessions can help him save time during the race.

2. Total Running Time: Johannes' total running time was 00:37:04, which is 00:51 slower than the average time. This indicates that Johannes may need to focus more on his running training. To improve his running performance, he should incorporate specific running drills and exercises into his training routine. Interval training, such as speed intervals and hill repeats, can help improve his speed and endurance. Additionally, strength training exercises targeting the muscles used in running, such as lunges, squats, and calf raises, can help improve his running performance.

3. Running 1: Johannes completed the first running segment in 00:04:20, which is 00:21 slower than the average time.
