Segments to Improve
1. Roxzone: Miles Tardieu spent 00:10:18 in the Roxzone, which is 03:22 slower than the average. This indicates that he may have taken more time to rest or transition between exercises. To improve this segment, Miles should focus on improving his overall fitness and reducing his transition time. Increasing his stamina and endurance will allow him to perform at a higher intensity for a longer duration.
2. Sled Push: Miles Tardieu completed the Sled Push segment in 00:05:38, which is 02:20 slower than the average. To improve in this area, he should work on developing his lower body strength and power. Exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and lunges can help to build the necessary muscles for pushing the sled. Additionally, practicing the sled push itself, focusing on explosiveness and technique, will lead to improvements in time.
3. Sled Pull: Miles Tardieu took 00:07:19 to complete the Sled Pull segment, which is 01:50 slower than the average. Similar to the Sled Push, he should focus on developing his lower body strength and power for this exercise.

Additionally, practicing the sled pull with proper form and technique will lead to better performance.
4. Running 6: Miles Tardieu completed Running 6 in 00:07:20, which is 01:48 slower than the average. To improve his running performance, Miles should incorporate more specific running training into his routine. Interval training, hill sprints, and tempo runs can help to improve his speed and endurance. Additionally, working on his running form and technique, such as stride length and cadence, will contribute to faster running times.
5. Farmers Carry: Miles Tardieu completed the Farmers Carry segment in 00:02:53, which is 00:35 slower than the average. To improve in this area, he should focus on developing his grip strength and overall upper body strength.
