Segments to Improve

1. Run Total: Ronny lost a significant amount of time in the running portion of the race. To improve his performance in this segment, he should focus on enhancing his overall fitness level and specifically work on his running endurance. Incorporating interval training, long steady-state runs, and hill sprints into his training routine can help improve his running performance. Additionally, working on his running form and technique can also contribute to faster running times.

2. Running 8: This segment was particularly challenging for Ronny, as he was 02:03 slower than the average time.
