I like the look of that!!! Gonna try it tomorrow.

I don't know if your gonna be able to increase your tolerance to lactic acid in one week though. Maybe one of the more knowledgeable members will be able to advise you.

Have you done that kind of circuit training much before??

carabum... You will not be able to alter your lactate threshold in one week (I guess you discovered this!?)
 
For next time, remember that 'carbo loading' may be useful the few days before to increase the glycogen (energy) available to your body.
 
I always tell myself that my pain barrier is too low; humans are too intelligent for their bodies, and stop at about 60% of their maximum. Horses stop at 100% (when they die!)
 
How did you do anyway?
