The more intense the interval, the shorter it is, and the longer its corresponding recovery is. Length: You can fit a foxy clock inside a few minutes (interval/recovery): 10/50, 20/40 30/30, 40/20, 50/10. You may have fewer intervals: 15/45, 30/30, 45/15. When to use: anywhere outside the warmup. You can use it as a way of building strength as the intervals get longer, the challenge is to maintain the intensity of the initial shorter intervals What it does: Builds strength and endurance, at higher intensities with a delayed recovery.
