3. Running 8: Fabian's running time in this segment was 00:06:24, which was 00:40 slower than average. Similar to Running 1, Fabian should focus on improving his endurance and speed to reduce the time lost in this segment. Incorporating longer distance runs and hill training can help him build his endurance and improve his running performance in this segment.
4. Running 5: Fabian's running time in this segment was 00:05:50, which was 00:36 slower than average. To improve his running performance in this segment, Fabian should focus on both endurance and speed. Incorporating interval training and incorporating exercises that target the muscles used in running, such as lunges and squats, can help him improve his running speed and decrease the time lost.
5. Running 2, Running 4, Running 7, Running 3: Fabian's running times in these segments were all slower than average. To improve his running performance in these segments, Fabian should focus on both endurance and speed. Incorporating interval training, hill repeats, and incorporating exercises that target the muscles used in running can help him improve his running speed and decrease the time lost.
6. Ski Erg: Fabian's time in this segment was 00:04:33, which was 00:14 slower than average.
