Either way, I'll go with the 6x5' from now on. Just curious.
I like to give myself a facepalm when I read quotes like this.

WTF does "taking longer to stop using anerobic power" mean? I really have no idea.

And then, you go on to say you'll just do the 6x5' intervals.

WHY!!??

a serious question.

Why?

(i plan on posting some helpful stuff, but I want you to think about why.)
