I combine sprints with “play” when I am with my 13 year old son (I am 48 and a triathlete who is trying to convert to a more primal blueprint style). I routinely play “last one there is a rotten egg” with him when we get about 50 to 100 yeards to our destination. I tell him one day he will beat me, but not yet…..

Hi all great information here and good thread to comment on.

Can I ask though – how did you get this picked up and into google news?

Very impressive that this blog is syndicated through Google and is it something that is just up to Google or you actively created?

Obviously this is a popular blog with great data so well done on your seo success..

Reminds me of Phil Campbell’s Sprint 8 protocol. http://outside.away.com/outside/bodywork/200604/high-intensity-training-2.html

Great post Mark. Recently you had a post with your daily meals. I can’t seem to find it, would you be so kind as to direct me there?
Thank you.

I find high-intensity exercise much more applicable to daily life than lower-intensity endurance work like jogging. Most of the things that come up in my life that require cardio fitness are of the intense type: running for a bus, playing a game of racquetball, snowball fights, etc.

My general, “functional” fitness is a lot higher since I started doing sprints, I notice it all the time.

It is easiest on the stationary bike or the elliptical to increase the resistance a couple of notches as well as the RPMs during the interval.

I’ve recently re-vamped my workout routine to include all-out sprint sessions on either the stationary bike or elliptical. When using such equipment, should I be increasing the resistance during the sprint interval and removing it during rest intervals, or keeping low resistance throughout, or something different? Advice is much appreciated!
