Logging HIIT

I'm looking for some feedback on what people are doing for logging their HIIT sessions. Let's say for simplicity's sake that I sprint, all out, for 30 seconds then walk for 60 seconds for 10 intervals each. Let's also say that sprinting is at 10 mph and walking is 4 mph. Would I log 5 minutes (10 * 30 seconds) at 10 mph and then 10 minutes of walking at 4 mph? This, by the way, is what I'm planning to do but I'm curious if someone has a more accurate approach.

    Your best bet may be to wear a heart rate monitor, since those will figure calories burned in real time. Just need to assess whether calories burned is accurate for you as they fluctuate some depending on model and such.
