Endurance Test
This is not just a workout — it’s a full-body stamina challenge.
Four rounds. Each round starts with a 10-minute interval run, followed by 100 reps of a major strength movement.
Your heart rate stays high. Your muscles get tested. Your mental grit gets sharpened.
Equipment needed: Treadmill, dumbbells or weighted bar

How to Approach It
The runs are structured as :60 sprint / :60 recovery intervals for the full 10 minutes. Your sprint pace should feel strong and controlled. The recovery should allow you to bring your heart rate down just enough to go again.
For the 100 reps:
Choose a weight that challenges you but allows you to complete all reps with good form.
This is about endurance strength — not max lifting.
Who This Is For
✔️ Runners who want to build muscular durability

This workout can be done as a standalone training day or as a benchmark to repeat every 4–6 weeks and measure progress.
It’s simple.
It’s demanding.
And it will absolutely expose — and improve — your endurance.
