3 favorite running workouts you must try!

Here are my three favorite running workouts to develop stamina, strength and endurance. These workouts can be added to your weekly training plan to add variety and train different systems in your body. Keep in mind that these workouts are advanced and not suitable for beginner runners.

To keep it simple, I saved these workouts in my COROS app and synced it to my APEX Pro watch. This way you can fully concentrate on the workout without worrying about reps, distance, times, training zones etc during the run.
