Im sure one of the more informative contributers to the forums can help you alot more than I can, but here is my opinion.
You should use your new time (whether its 1min or less) to tailor a Co2/o2 table to your current level. If you have previously done a Pb of 4:03, then you should have not much trouble increasing your times (and subsequently re-writting your tables) on a regular basis.

Hope it helps. If not..........



punish me?

Do a search and have a look at previous threads on the forum. There is quite alot of information (and debate) about the effectiveness of Tables vs Max hold training and also warmup vs no warmup.

Its all about what you're comfortable with and what works best for you. Dont let anyone else tell you what is the best/worst, because everyone will differ.
