How much rest (typically) does one take between TR intervals?

Thanks

Good question because TR intervals usually kick my butt. My last workout was 3x6 min at TR and although I was within the pace range, the last interval was nearer the slower end than I wanted. First two were OK. I usually rest until my HR is twice the resting rate as recommended in the instructions. That can take 4-5 minutes.

Thanks, i knew about the heart rate thing but was hoping someone would just give me a rough guideline, which you did... so thanks for that.
