Met Bret Riley and Jason for a 6 mile warm up then an uphill 6x400,2x200 workout with active downhill recovery. The hill was a beast. My splits were 90.4 89.1 86.2 84.5 86.2 85.1 for the 400s and 41.6 and 36.7 for the 200s. Cool down back to the cars. My heart was beating through my chest. After the last 200 I did a 10 second check and it was 30 beats in 10 seconds which is around 175-180. Real VO2 Max work. Love adding this stuff to the regiment. Feel like its adding some major strength.

These kinds of workouts are a great transition to the real VO2 max work... you gotta keep your HR up in that intensity range for at least 3 minutes though, to make adaptations in that system.
