3. Run Total: While Aaron's overall running time was faster than average, there is still room for improvement in his running performance. To enhance his running speed and endurance, he should incorporate interval training and tempo runs into his training routine. Interval training can involve alternating between high-intensity sprints and periods of active recovery, while tempo runs involve maintaining a challenging pace for an extended period.

4. Farmers Carry: Aaron lost 16 seconds compared to the average in this segment. To improve his performance in the Farmers Carry, he should focus on improving his grip strength and overall upper body strength.

6. Sled Pull: Aaron lost 11 seconds compared to the average in this segment. To improve his performance in the sled pull, he should focus on improving his overall strength and technique.
