Segments to Improve

Based on the splits analysis, the following segments were the worst-performing for Jonathan: Run Total, Running 7, Running 6, Running 8, Running 4, Running 5, Running 3, Best Lap, Sled Pull, Running 2, Running 1, and Farmers Carry. To improve performance in these segments, the following specific training strategies and techniques are recommended:

1. Run Total: To improve the overall running time, Jonathan should focus on increasing his running endurance. Incorporating longer distance runs into his training routine will help build his cardiovascular fitness and stamina. Interval training, such as tempo runs and hill sprints, can also be beneficial for improving speed and endurance.

2. Running 7, Running 6, Running 8, Running 4, Running 5, and Running 3: These running segments showed slower times compared to the average. Jonathan should work on improving his running technique and efficiency to increase his speed. Incorporating drills such as high knees, butt kicks, and strides can help improve running form and cadence. Additionally, adding strength training exercises like lunges, squats, and plyometrics can help develop the leg muscles necessary for faster running.

3. Best Lap: Although Jonathan had a strong performance on his best lap, he can further improve by focusing on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race. Incorporating interval training with varying speeds can help develop better pacing strategies and teach his body to adjust to different running intensities.
