Is there a better way to run a command N times in bash?

I occasionally run a bash command line like this:

n=0; while [[ $n -lt 10 ]]; do some_command; n=$((n+1)); done

To run some_command a number of times in a row -- 10 times in this case.

Often some_command is really a chain of commands or a pipeline.

Is there a more concise way to do this?

Another simple way to hack it:

seq 20 | xargs -Iz echo "Hi there"

run echo 20 times.

Notice that seq 20 | xargs -Iz echo "Hi there z" would output:

Hi there 1
Hi there 2

You can use this command to repeat your command 10 times or more

for i in {1..10}; do **your command**; done

for example

for i in {1..10}; do **speedtest**; done
