About this workout
This workout features a hard-hitting main set of 4 × 3 minutes at nearly max effort, perfect for developing the kick needed to close gaps during a race. Use this anaerobic session to build raw sprinting power and lactate tolerance while keeping fatigue in check as you taper for your next event.
