Walk until your not as beat as an old rug.
This is supposed to simulate "ONE" period of hockey. If your really feeling froggy, try to do "TWO" periods of hockey.

    I was going to try intervals today too, but with time instead of distance, I was going to sprint for one minute, two minute walk recovery. Thanks for the post!

    so technically this can be done without dieing? Is that what you are implying? No way, I see death at the end of it. LOL
