2. Sprint/jog or stairs or hills/jog. You start off jogging until you feel you are sufficeintly warmed up. Then, you sprint this can either be for an alotted time period or until you are winded. Once you do this you don't stop you resume jogging. This teaches you active rest. What your body experiences by doing this type of training is very similar to what it experiences in a fight. Short bursts of energy followed by active recovery. When fighting you don't really have an oppertunity to stop and recover (unless the bell rings). You have to be able to recover while still in movement. Obviously, pacing yourself and some other things factor into the equation, but I think this training method definitely helps.
In a sense, this is incorrect. phase 1 does not prepare you for phase 2. You are working two different systems here. increasing your aerobic conditioning in phase one will not prepare you for anaerobic training in phase 2. you can actually do both of them at the same time, as they are two independently functioning systems. do cardio one day, do your sprints the next. your thought on active rest is correct, though.
