Top 10 Run Workouts of 2023
The most popular workouts on my website over 2023, where predominantly published before 2023.

Sunday Smart-Trainer Session – Martin Gibala Intervals VII
Doing repeated short bouts of exercise at very high intensity develops a number of physiological systems in the body. Predominantly it provides a great training stimulus for the neuromuscular system. Although not specific to endurance events, training the neuromuscular system can bring on your fitness very quickly and is still a massive benefit for endurance athletes especially early in the season or if you are unfit.
