Subject: RE: "Rest" during intervalsJorge's program specifies the effort level for rest, but depending on the intensity of the interval it's more like......collapse down to fifty watts, try not to puke, wipe sweat, gulp water; watch helplessly as the seconds that just dragged by so slowly now fly past; in the last 30 seconds or so, realize, oh, yeah, I'm supposed to be at 65% or something like that, and attempt to do that! Running--easy easy, except for fartlek. The idea with that is you go back to normal (I guess zone 2 ) easy run pace; you're not supposed to stop or just dink along. For intervals, some workouts specify. If not, I probably spend a few seconds walking while gasping for breath (if hard ), then jog very easy for the recovery time/distance. You don't want to just stand there the whole time or you'll tighten up. |
