It's almost winter and, while we wish we were running trails, we're most often in the gym these days. To spice up our workout this weekend, we're trying out some new treadmill routines—because how boring is it to get on the treadmill and 'just run'? These 20-minute workouts make running indoors a bit more exciting. Give them a try this weekend!
Don't forget to stretch, hydrate, and refuel. We've heard a Vukoo bar is great for your post-run fix!
