4. Running 2, Running 3, Running 4, Running 5, Running 6: Sven's times in these running segments were slower than the average. To improve his running performance, he should focus on both strength and speed training. Incorporating hill sprints, intervals, and tempo runs into his training routine can help improve his running speed and endurance. Additionally, strength training exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and lunges can help improve his leg strength and power.
