Hey friends! This week’s workout is all about getting your heart rate up and getting sweaty! We’ll be doing a mix of intervals, hills, and tempo work.

Intervals:

Intervals are a great way to improve your speed and endurance. For this workout, we’ll be doing 5 minutes of hard running, followed by 1 minute of easy running. Repeat this 5 times for a total of 30 minutes.

Hills:

Hills are a great way to build strength. For this workout, find a hill that takes about 1 minute to run up. Run up the hill at a hard effort, then jog or walk back down to recover. Repeat this 5 times.

Tempo:

Tempo work is a great way to improve your lactate threshold. For this workout, we’ll be running at a hard, but sustainable, pace for 20 minutes.

Here’s the workout breakdown:

5 minute warm up

5 x 5 minute intervals

5 x 1 minute hills

20 minute tempo

5 minute cool down

Make sure to warm up properly before starting this workout and to cool down afterwards. I’ll see you out there!
