HIIT - I have recently read a bit about this type of training and thought I would incorporate it into my running schedule. Had the first session the other day and it hurt.... But this is what it will do, it is High Intensity Interval Training and you are stretching your capacity to near limits over a short period of time.
I managed to warm up ok - 5mins. at least - and then ran as fast as I could for 30secs. then allowed 3 minutes recovery. I did this three times and then another 5mins. to warm down. I finished feeling exhausted but enjoyed it. I noticed quite a bit of stiffness in the legs the day after. In normal training the stiffness or DOMS is rarely evident because of the constant training, but after the intense training it showed up again. However 2 days later I was able to complete a normal 3 mile run with no after effects. I will try again next week and see how it goes.
