It seemed like hard graft to me! I was going to do some weights but was to sweaty!!
Think I've said elsewhere on here, that when I was off for a couple of months last year with my ITB, all I was doing was hitting the rower - mixture of long endurance sessions with 500m intervals and shorter sprint/burpee sessions. When I started again, I was getting PBs all over the place with relative ease. Job's a good'un!
