HIIT is awesome, but it doesn't have to be just running. It can be done with any kind of cardio. Whether running outdoors, on a treadmill, on an elliptical, a bike, or a rowing machine. Just so you all know!

This is how I used to train when I was in the best shape of my life. Working back to being somewhere near that level of fitness again.

Just started a boot camp that uses HIIT. It works!

Thanks for posting this! I had been wondering if its better to do HIIT, or to run slower (very slow if you're me) for a longer period of time.

I had bookmarked this workout from Self Magazine a while back and have done it a few times in the past. Taking it up again. Thanks for the reminder!

thanks for this! i was about to ask if i could do this on the elliptical - i still feel very self conscious about the loud "thwamp" noise when i try to run on the treadmill >.>

When combining this with C25K, would you add it before & after a days run, or instead of a normal session, with a days rest either side?

Just honestly wondering - what is the difference between HIIT and fartlek training in running? Is there a difference?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fartlek

Did a quick Google search and found this:

Seems the big difference is HIIT is more regimented in terms of timing your periods of high intensity and recovery, whereas in fartlek training is less structured and more adjustable.

Did this for the first time today! I have no idea how some of you out there can sprint at 12mph...I started my first sprint at 8.0mph and almost flew off the treadmill haha! So I had to keep my "sprints" at 7.5mph. Guess I just have to work my way up.
