HIIT

MrsSchmidty7

If you do this on a treadmill, when do you start your time for your "intense" running- once you've started going full pace or as the dreadmill, or I mean treadmill, starts to speed starts increase? My TM takes a few seconds to speed up, so I feel like I am losing time at my peak. Thanks!

I thought the same thing too, it doesn't matter... It takes time to speed up doesn't it? Yes, it ALSO takes time to slow down... SO it's the same thing.

I had one where I was able to turn up the speed real quick manually, I have since switch to the elliptical which I prefer, but I agree it's difficult on teh Treadmill

I can only do HIIT on a treadmill as I get carried away outside and carry on running!! I do it 2 different ways so I don't get bored...one way is distance - 100m walk/300m sprint and time - 1 min walk/2-3 sprint (i love odd numbers ha!) I normally start a couple of meteres or seconds earlier though so eg. 98m or 57 secs etc and finish on rounded figure to allow machine to slow/down/catch up. Is this what you wanted or have I gone off on a tangent?? lol

The rising speed takes about 5 seconds, so I just add 5 seconds to the end of the minute interval.
