Join Mark and the TRC Team as he takes them through a brutal half marathon workout with a twist. The workout is a mixture of threshold and hill reps - a combination that's a real pulse raiser.

What's the twist? There is also a challenge, which is to run as close to your threshold pace as possible without looking at your watch. The closest to their time wins!

Give this half marathon workout a try and let us know how you get on in the comments. 👇
