Segments to Improve

1. Running 3, Running 4, Running 5, Running 6: Vincent lost time in these running segments compared to the average. To improve his performance in these areas, he should focus on his running endurance and speed. Incorporating interval training, tempo runs, and hill sprints into his training routine can help improve his running performance.

Incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts and practicing quick transitions between exercises in his training routine can help him become more efficient in this aspect.

3. Strength Training: Based on Vincent's slower total running time compared to the average, he should prioritize incorporating more running-specific exercises into his training routine. This can include hill sprints, interval training, and tempo runs to improve his running speed and endurance.

4. Overall Fitness: To improve his overall performance, Vincent should focus on enhancing his overall fitness level. This can be achieved through a combination of cardiovascular exercises, strength training, and flexibility training. Incorporating exercises such as rowing, cycling, and swimming can improve his cardiovascular endurance, while strength training exercises targeting all major muscle groups can enhance his overall strength and power.
