Quirkey: Think it might be worth doing a max hr test to see if yours is anyway unusual. The "220 minus age" 'formula' isnt always right.

Quirkey: We forgot the brain picking.....

Simply put: It's 3 mins flat out, 2 min rest, 3 mins flat out again. You should hit your actual max at some point in the second one.

It's really tough, especially on the second run. Not something you'll want to do too often.

Decent warm-up and warm down definitely a good idea for this one. Good Luck if you do decide to give it a go !
