Power Play Workouts for Your Strongest Race Day
This October, we are excited to introduce four new Power Play workouts built around the demands of the 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon.
Each session features intervals and sustained efforts tailored to your goal distance. From shorter efforts at 5K intensity and gear changes at 10K power to sustained half marathon work and longer blocks at marathon power, these sessions will help you dial in your target effort and build the fitness to perform when it matters most.
Let’s dive into the new workouts released this month.
