60 mins pool running. 5 mins warmup, 9 x 5 mins hard, 1 min easy, 3 mins warm down.
While I know others say this is a good workout, I dont think its as good as elliptical or stairmaster, based on heart rate alone. I do think it targets more running specific muscles, and I can feel my legs get tired. Better than swimming at least. Im trying to do it at least 1-2 times a week, so I can mix up the cross-training, and not just get really awesome at ellipticalling (but lose strength in other running-specific ways).
