Coach Turney Workout 113
Purpose: Reducing reps as we increase length. These are phenomenal for building power endurance. A little goes a long way with hard hill reps. Make sure you’re fully warmed up for this.
Moderate overall effort – 6/10.

20min easy jog
2×10 each (high knees, butt kicks, walking lunges, side shuffle, leg swings)

*The hill sprints should be around 90-95% (1-2mile race effort). You can surge up a hill and jog down to recover or do this on a continuous gradual climb with a longer cooldown back. 5% incline if on a treadmill.
