Mini Workout for 06.16.07

[Sportsmedjosh]

This 30-minute interval workout is called "Sizzling Hot" because it's almost all in your Redline Zone (90-100 percent of Max HR) and 20 minutes are spent above your AT HR. The Redline Zone is a very high intensity zone so you can't stay there long and a rest period is needed after each interval.

You need to be training on a regular program before you attempt any sizzling hot interval workouts. The workout is commonly called a "ladder" but rather than being based on time or distance, it uses HR. To do this workout you will need to know your AT HR. The following field test will give you a ballpark estimate. This test, which consists of two times 20 minutes at the fastest you can go, must be completed on the same day.

Set your monitor so it will give you an average of each 20 minute test. After warming up, run your first 20 minute test then note the average
HR. Take a jog rest for at least five minutes then do another 20 minutes as fast as you can go. The average HR of the second test should be within fivebeats of the first test. Your ballpark AT HR estimate is the average of your two field tests. Now that you know your AT HR, here's the sizzling workout.

Maybe you should do weekly things.. Just make a weekly one in which you suggest a few things to do per day. Might be easier than everyday coming up with one.

Just try and do the:
Mon -
Tues -
Wed -
etc..

Unless you feel like daily is easy to keep up on. hehe. Up to you. I like them, I just wish I could dedicate more time to completing them.

I think weekly would be a good idea.
