Here is the long version...

...of what we did on Saturday. The Max VO2 is a long trip but there is a method to the madness. No real magic.  I just think it is a great exercise in management. Pain management. Emotional management. Strength and endurance management. It's the whole package. Here is the link to a very good blog entry on VO2 work. Keep in mind, there is a segment of the fitness community that dismisses this type of training  as pointless. But, we don't train the VO2. We dabble with it. I don't feel a need to go 30 or 40 minutes. Really. What's the point.
