Are you looking for a fresh workout challenge as a runner? Whether you’re hitting a strength plateau or growing bored of your mundane routine, I’ve got a 5-exercise routine that will breathe new life back into your workouts.

No matter how serious you are about running, this session will be sure to elevate your performance in no time while working muscles you forgot you had!
