9. Running 3 and Running 4: Jens was 00:18 slower than the average in both of these running segments. To improve his performance, he should focus on improving his running endurance and speed. Incorporating interval training, such as fartlek runs and tempo runs, will help increase his running speed and endurance.

Strategies

- Jens should work on pacing himself throughout the race to maintain a consistent speed and energy level. Starting too fast can lead to exhaustion later in the race, while starting too slow can result in wasted energy. Finding a comfortable pace and sticking to it will help optimize his performance.
- During the race, Jens should focus on maintaining good form and technique in each segment. Proper form will help minimize energy expenditure and maximize efficiency.
- It is important for Jens to properly fuel and hydrate before, during, and after the race. Ensuring adequate nutrition and hydration will help maintain energy levels and prevent fatigue.
- Jens should consider incorporating specific training sessions that closely simulate the demands of the race. This could involve combining running with strength exercises, such as running intervals followed by burpees or lunges, to improve his ability to perform well in both aspects of the race.
- Lastly, Jens should regularly assess his progress and make adjustments to his training plan as needed. Tracking improvements in his splits and overall performance will help identify areas that require further attention and refinement.
