Have just discovered the joys of fartlek. Its well good.
1)5 mins. brisk walk
2)1 min jog
3)1 min sprint
Alternate no.'s 2 and 3 for 10 mins (5 times each)

Quickly move on to..!

Elliptical trainer - same thing, minus the 5 min warm up

And then to...

Exercise bike. Same thing, but followed by a 5 min warm down.

And stretch...

And relax!


It feels so great!

;)

Some of my more msochistic cross country runner buddies used to do really evil versions of these types of workouts.
