    What's the best way to monitor/keep track of the timing for this?

    Timex has a cheap watch that allows setting up intervals, it'll beep when time to change to the other thing.

    Sadly, the cheap only have 1 set of intervals. During the jog part you'd have to mess with the timings for the 1:1 coming up, but not too bad.

    Or, if you really want to get into stats and such for even much more than this, Garmin GPS HRM systems have whole workouts you can put in, with goals during that part of the routine.

    I tweaked my current one closer to this routine, with desired HR levels to not go over during recovery, or min to get above, ect.

    Well, not as cheap as I thought I remembered.
    But it's one of Timex's Ironman series that allows setting up intervals nicely.

    Hi, if you have a smart phone you can download a free app called HIIT at the android market. Once its on your phone, you just type in the timing you want when completing the intervals and the number of rounds you want to complete. Hit "Go!" and your off. The app counts down each 'work' and 'rest' period so you know when to sprint and when to jog. The really good thing is you can play your music while you run the app so you can put together a really intensive playlist to help you get through the workout!
