Do you fall flat towards the end of your run when you’re racing? Or are you looking to have a strong kick at the finish to put the hurt on your competitors? Then give this run session a try.
This Workout Wednesday powered by BioAstin is a 60 minute session that will test your speed and aerobic economy. It elevates your fast twitch muscle fibers to help promote better balance, symmetry and good form at the end of the race.
If you’re gearing up for an “A” race, then implement this session 1 to 2 times per week for 3 to 7 weeks before your triathlon.
To add variety, feel free to alternate the repeats between uphill and flat terrain.
