Has anyone tried Tabata Interval Training?
Looking for opinion and experiences of doing this type of a workout.

    I haven't done it, but I will give you my perspective as a distance runner. I don't believe that a high intensity workout that is designed specifically with the goal of burning the maximum amount of fat in the shortest period of time is going to give me the performance gains that other, running specific, workouts will give me.

    I train with the mindset that every run, every workout, has a specific purpose. I think this type of workout would be counterproductive to what I am trying to accomplish.
