Based on the splits analysis, E Mangilit showed strengths in the Ski Erg, Sled Pull, Burpees Broad Jump, Farmers Carry, Sandbag Lunges, and Wall Balls segments. He performed significantly better than the average in these segments, demonstrating good technique and efficiency.
However, there were areas that need improvement, particularly in the running segments. E Mangilit was slower than average in Running 1, Running 2, Running 3, Running 4, Running 6, and Running 8. These segments accounted for the most time lost during the race.
Segments to Improve
1. Running 1: E Mangilit was 02:19 slower than average in this segment. To improve his performance, he should focus on increasing his running speed and endurance. Incorporating interval training, such as sprints and tempo runs, can help him build his running speed and stamina. Additionally, practicing proper running form and technique, such as maintaining a strong posture and utilizing efficient arm swing, can contribute to faster running times.
2. Running 3: E Mangilit was 04:46 slower than average in this segment. To improve his performance in longer distance running, he should incorporate long runs into his training routine. Gradually increasing the distance of his long runs will help him build endurance and improve his running speed over longer distances. Additionally, incorporating hill training and interval training can help him build strength and speed for uphill and downhill running.
3. Running 8: E Mangilit was 03:28 slower than average in this segment. To improve his performance in this segment, he should focus on building both running endurance and strength. Incorporating exercises such as hill sprints, stair running, and plyometric exercises can help him develop the necessary strength and power for running up inclines. Additionally, incorporating strength training exercises for the lower body, such as squats, lunges, and deadlifts, can improve his overall running performance.
