Ahoy,
tomorrow I will be going to my local running track to do some HIIT/Fartlekk as part of my fitness regime for my pre-joining fitness assessment which will be taken at the end of May. I am already reasonably fit (yesterday did 3.5 miles in 25 minutes, recently did 1.5 miles in 10 minutes) and am looking to get fitter using this training method.
A friend of mine who is a personal trainer at a Gym recommended doing 1 lap at high intensity, followed by a slow lap, etc etc. Should I just do this until I feel I can't go on, just as an indicator for next time, or should I be aiming to do a certain amount or length of time?
If any one has any different ideas than what I have already been suggested to do, I would be glad to hear them.
Ta.
