This is a dynamic and engaging 55-minute workout, perfect for runners of all levels. It begins with a 5-minute warm-up walk to ease into the session, followed by 4 minutes of lively cadence drills and a 1-minute rest to sharpen your footwork. Next, we accelerate through 4 minutes of exhilarating gliders, with another 1-minute rest to catch our breath.
