I did these once a week for 15 – 20 mins and got insane heart rate response. R charts look like mountains ranges going from 180 down to 90. Amazing!

3 min warm up

30 sec 90% of your max speed at the highest resistance you can handle.

1 min cool 50% max

Repeat for 15 min. If you can do 15 mins easily you are not going hard enough. When I read the method the first time they author mentioned, “you will want to barf.” He was NOT WRONG! I guess that’s considered doing it right.

He also stressed once a week.
