Tabata intervals

[mlocke]

Anyone got any experience if these?

20 secs balls out 10 secs rest repeat till dead

A bike is setup on the turbo in garage now so no excuses (fixi)

Was thinking some short sharp sessions would help prepare for palace. I hope to get there in June once my early season triathlons are out of the way

was thinking could blast out 10 min sesh after a commute a couple of times a week

cheers

Oh and 10 mins is the total time.

Seems that would be very long time for these.

Reading it seems people start doing about 4 or 5 building up to about 5 mins

This sounds about right for something like palace to

Yikes! rather you than me...you have to go absolutely at your maximum for each interval Enjoy

yep although the recovery time iv'e been doing is 1 min not 10 secs
I've done it with running or cycling @ 20 secs full on sprint then 1min slow spin/recovery jog or walk x 15 max or until form starts to go

about 2 years ago I did russian pyramid? you start at something like 20sec full on, 20 sec rest, 30sec full on, etc up to a 2 min effort and then back down the steps to 20sec and then collapse.
