In which camp do you fall? Do you want to know the workout ahead of time or go in sight unseen? Does it make a difference to you? The case for knowing in advance is it allows you to plan. The case against is the knowledge may deter you, i.e. “I don’t want to do that!”
Athletics has run on “a show up and find out” model, but the time has come for an experimental change. Now workouts will be posted to the Empower blog. Caveat! Remember all workouts will be set up to meet your fitness goals. It you have an injury or need to preserve legs for an upcoming race or hike we’ll tailor the workout.
