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

    I've just started them, second time tonight! They actually feel more 'natural' for me than long jogs, my only problem is the dog can't keep up with my sprints :P

    Little question, I seem to be a night runner ( cover of darkness and all..) though does this change anything? Would it make much difference if I ran in the morning?

    If you do this late at night it may interfere with your sleep pattern (too "pumped up"). By doing this earlier in the day, it will give you more energy throughout the day and you'll be able to sleep better at night.


    Thank you! Shall set my alarm :)

    Why do I love HIIT so much? Shorter workouts, greater calorie burn AND it keeps the workout interesting :smile:

    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! :smile:

    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.
