Speed Work

I hate speed work.  Hate it with a passion.  And yet, I continue to do it. Why?  Because I know it works.  Back in high school our coach would run us on some some hellish intervals: Blue Miles, Indiana Hills, Richmond Repeats to name a few.  Just thinking of them makes me cringe.  They worked …
