Stefan's Best Lap and Running 1 segments were both slower than average. To improve his running performance, he should focus on incorporating interval training and tempo runs into his training routine. This will help to improve his speed and endurance.
Lastly, in the Ski Erg segment, Stefan was slower than average. To improve in this area, he should focus on improving his upper body and core strength, as well as his technique on the Ski Erg. Incorporating exercises such as rowing, planks, and core exercises will help to improve his performance in this segment.
Additionally, Stefan should consider incorporating specific training sessions that simulate the race conditions. This could include practicing transitions between segments, as well as incorporating combination exercises that mimic the demands of the race.
