JogRunSprint is a new and exciting app based on the popular running concept "10-20-30" developed by professor Jens Bangsbo and Thomas Gunnarson from the university of Copenhagen (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22556401). Experience incredible results in just 3-4 weeks of running with JogRunSprint...Even as an experienced runner.

Set up how many sets you would like to run and press start. Visual and audio cues will guide you through the entire exercise. Remember the importance of a proper warmup before starting your exercise.
