Additionally, focusing on improving his running form and efficiency can also contribute to better performance in this segment.

In the Running 3 and Running 1 segments, Victor should work on increasing his speed and reducing the time lost compared to the average. Incorporating speed workouts such as interval training, fartlek runs, and hill sprints will help him improve his speed and reduce the time lost in these segments. Strength training exercises targeting the lower body, such as plyometric exercises and weighted squats, can also enhance his running speed and power.

To improve the Best Lap segment, Victor should focus on his running technique and pacing. Implementing drills such as high knees, butt kicks, and strides can help improve his running form and efficiency. Additionally, practicing race pace runs and tempo runs will help him establish a consistent and optimal pace for the best lap.

For the Running 7 segment, Victor should work on his endurance and pacing. Incorporating long-distance runs and tempo runs into his training routine will help him build endurance and maintain a consistent pace throughout this segment. Interval training and fartlek runs can also be beneficial in improving his speed and reducing the time lost.
