[QUOTE="zicksi101, post: 1038375, member: 97084"] It sounds like it is working for you, which is great. Really it boils down to what your goals are and how much time you wish to spend training to achieve that. Just to make my earlier post clear, my standard HIIT sessions are 5x5 reps of weight lifting with long recoveries, covering several body parts using compound exercises, which typically takes me 45 minutes to complete. Less frequently I do a true speed workout, which is 8x400m on a running track, at least 1 min/mile faster than my 5k pace (sub-90s per 400m). I agree with Dave though that you get to a point where a mix of sessions is best, rather than just adding more and more HIIT sessions. Ultimately, it's nice to have a heroic finishing kick in the last 200m of a 5k running race, but I'm relying on endurance to get a good time in the earlier 4.8k. Without the endurance to keep a certain speed up, the speed is about as useful as a chocolate teapot. [/QUOTE]
