Every Tuesday we’ll feature a different coach’s workout you can complete in 60 minutes (or less!).
This week’s run workout comes from Jessica Dollar of Nashville-based FTP Coaching. “The focus is on re-emphasizing good form throughout the workout,” Dollar says.
Perform your strides at a pace equal to or slightly harder than 5K pace. Focus on how your form changes when you speed up during the strides, and try to mimic that form during the two-mile portions.
