2. Running 3 and Running 4: Solomon was 03:13 and 03:02 slower than the average in Running 3 and Running 4, respectively. To improve his running performance in these segments, Solomon should focus on endurance training. Long-distance runs at a steady pace and interval training, alternating between high-intensity sprints and recovery periods, can help improve his overall running speed and endurance.

3. Ski Erg: Solomon was 01:52 slower than the average in the Ski Erg segment. To improve his performance in this segment, he should focus on strengthening his upper body and improving his technique on the Ski Erg machine.
