Run baby Run. I did this run last week before the doctor told me to pull back a bit. Sometimes you have to listen to your body and although it is a very hard lesson for me to learn I am doing my best to trust the process.
Now, with that said if you are healthy and able to run… GET OUT THERE. Remember all those that can not run and you go get after it with this kick your butt sprint workout. The incline work is tough but totally worth it once completed. For this particular workout… remember what goes up will always come back down.
