Track Workout:
Hi guys the workout for this week is designed for the track but with some practice can be done from anywhere. This workout is a great example of how you can still do workouts without a track by using your own body and effort level as a gauge. For this week, I would adapt it to a non track location by picking a flat location near you and gauging how far a ¼ mile is. Then just pretend that ¼ stretch is one lap and you can do almost any workout!
