Segments to Improve
1. Roxzone: Marvin spent 00:07:13 in the Roxzone, which was 02:03 slower than the average. This suggests that he may have rested more or taken longer transitions between exercises.

Incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions and practicing quick transitions between exercises in his training routine can help him improve in this area.
2. Run Total: Marvin's total running time was 00:37:53, which was 01:39 slower than the average. This indicates that he may need to work on his running performance. To improve his running, Marvin should focus on specific running drills and exercises. Interval training, hill sprints, and tempo runs can help improve his speed and endurance. Additionally, incorporating strength training exercises that target the muscles used in running, such as squats and lunges, can also enhance his running performance.
3. Running 8: Marvin's time for Running 8 was 00:05:43, which was 00:32 slower than the average. This suggests that he may need to work on his endurance in longer running segments.
