THE NEED FOR SPEED
This workout is all about changing gears. Start with 20sec of strength work at a sustained pace. Next perform 20sec of speed work as fast as you can control with good technique. Then allow 20sec pure rest before going back and repeating the strength exercise again. Repeat the set 5x before moving on to the next set.
