Just curious what everyone's favorite interval workouts look like.
The only interval workout I do is a spinvervals DVD. It has 3 x 6 minutes (hard), 6 x 1 minutes (harder) and 4 x 30 seconds (super hard!--sorry, that's the best I can describe it).
I sometimes do hill repeats too. But I prefer to do a gravel road ride near us that has lots and lots of hills--I like the variety.
That sounds like Dropping the Hammer - which is my favorite interval workout. :D
I do have a route that I will do hill repeats on as well.

"Favorite interval workout?" Isn't that an oxymoron? ;)
When my 1-minute sprints get to be my easiest workout, the one I don't dread, is when I know it's time to do more repeats each session. :p
Mile repeats, on the other hand, I dread no matter what.
I'm sure if I did the: 15-30 min warmup, sprint 3, recover 90 sec that is on my calendar it would be my fav!
My commute, especially on the way home, when I catch more red lights :D
It is! I just started doing it back 2 back. Reason being, last year's big race I obviously did not have the endurance. If I do the video twice (less the warm up and cool down) it's about 1:48. My race will take me close to 2.5 hours.Quote:

Wow! Twice - that's tough!
Good luck with your race.
