Get Ready for Your Next Half or Full Marathon with Our Strength and Speed Workouts!

We're excited to introduce five new workouts for the month of July, each designed with tempo and speed intervals to invigorate your training.

The tempo portions of these workouts are designed to boost your aerobic capacity which is crucial for raising your lactate threshold and enhancing muscle efficiency. This enables you to run at a higher intensity for extended periods of time. Meanwhile, the speed intervals keep you engaged and challenge you to run hard on tired legs, preparing your body to push beyond your limits in the later stages of races.

Let’s take a look at the workouts released this month!
