has anyone experienced great success doing this?

For those new to the idea, here are some great links.

I regulary do Plyo and HIIT circuits at the gym. I run 2-3x a week usually and managed to train for a HM in a short space of time, which I put down to the benefits of polyo/strength circuits... I definitely felt stronger anyway. Great post
