Easing into an Interval Session


Today I needed to get the endorphins flowing to end the old year on a high note, what better way than to do a strength endurance interval session (or drink some beer). I could not make it to the gym (car buried under snow). Below is the protocol I used from the Carmichael Training series of videos for the iPod:

Legs felt like jello after the workout and heart rate refused to come down, even after a ten minute cool down.
