Andy, I've been splitting time between this one and the Zemekone/Icehog weightlifting thread. Let me update!

Yesterday I had an awesome cardio day. Was doing interval running on a treadmill with the program breaking down like this:

5 minutes warm-up
1 minute @ 6mph then 1 minute @ 2.7mph (repeat 10 times)
1 minute @ 7mph then 2 minutes @ 2.7mph (repeat 5 times)
3 minutes warm-down

The first two or three intervals @ 6mph felt really tough. My heart rate was way up from normal but over the next few everything loosened up and it got really easy. So easy that I breezed through the 6mph and had not as much difficulty with the 7mph intervals as I usually did. So I did a single interval at 8mph (basically a full-on sprint on the treadmill). Now that was tough but it got my heart racing real good. Heart rate peaked out about 180bpm during that interval.

Today is back on legs: lunges, standing calf raises, leg curls, and probably a few dumbbell deadlifts. Maybe a bit of shoulders while I'm at it, too. And then 35 minutes on the elliptical to finish things off.

Looks like the drive thru for me tonight. Four Fresco crunchy tacos from Taco Bell will do me for today I guess.
