Segments to Improve

1. Running 4: Jari was 00:41 slower than the average time in this segment. To improve his running performance, he should focus on endurance training and interval running. Incorporating long-distance runs and tempo runs into his training routine will help him build stamina and speed.

2. Running 5: Jari lost 03:23 compared to the average time in this segment. To enhance his running performance, he should work on increasing his speed and agility. Interval training, such as sprint intervals and agility drills, will help him improve his acceleration and pace.

3. Rowing: Jari was 02:31 slower than the average time in this segment. To improve his rowing performance, he should focus on building upper body strength and improving his rowing technique. Incorporating exercises like rowing machine intervals, bent-over rows, and lat pulldowns into his training routine will help him develop the necessary strength and power for efficient rowing.

4. Running 6: Jari was 02:23 slower than the average time in this segment. To enhance his running performance, he should focus on hill training and incline running. Incorporating hill sprints and uphill intervals into his training routine will help him build strength and endurance for uphill running scenarios that may arise during races.
