Every Tuesday we’ll feature a different coach’s workout you can complete in 60 min (or less!).
This week’s workout comes from Marilyn Chychota, a former elite cyclist and triathlete and now coach for Endurance Corner. “Often we only have one hour and only treadmill access with our busy lifestyles. A lot of office workers are quickly getting their runs done during lunch and perfect terrain isn’t right out the door.” Get in and out of the gym with this purposeful, hilly treadmill run.
