This is also a way of testing VO2max - for those of you that are interested.

Seems easy until you actually try it. Unless you keep cardiovascularly fit this test will do most people in.

Eaco, that does seem like a good workout. Are the laps "cicular", like in running around a track, or do you stop & reverse direction, like doing suicides? For roughly how long during the 10 minute test are you expected to "sprint"?
