by Larry EderThis is a fast and furious workout. 20 times a minute hard, minute easy will go fast, but will also have you worn out. That is good. And it is fun. Run it on the grass or trails and have some fun. Speed is good, and it will feel hard this time of the year. Make sure you cool down well.
