10k strength builder
Back To The Treadmill
Haven’t had a treadmill workout for a couple of weeks and with the weather not too great this afternoon, decided today was as good a day as any to start rebuilding my “10k Strength“. As always, the workout was a challenge, but enjoyable and very rewarding. I must admit I wasn’t totally looking forward to [...]
One Hour Treadmill Run

If you’re as fast as a couple of runners [...]

Here’s a review of the workout from [...]
