I like this technique because it works and it's really simple. There are more advanced techniques for racers, but I'm improving, having fun, and not worrying so much about the numbers.
Ron - What is this technique achieving? Is it improved cardio health? Improved endurance? Increased strength? Increased speed? I'm not a racer, but am interesting in all-around improvement.

Thanks all!
Bob
