Power Running

So today I did day 2 of HIIT with my running routine! WOW! I get way more out of those intervals than just the straight running. I did 3 different 5 minute segments of jogging/sprinting intervals. I was planing on 1 minute walks to recover between each set but I needed 1 minute and 30 seconds before I was ready again. So here is what I did. Walked 3 minutes, jogged 2 minutes, 5 minutes intervals of 30 seconds sprinting and 30 seconds jog, then walked 1 1/2 minute, jogged 30 seconds, 2nd 5 minute intervals of sprinting/jogging, 1 1/2 minute walk, 30 second jog, 3rd 5 minute interval of sprinting/jogging, walked 1 1/2 minute then i finished off with 2 minutes of jogging and 1 full minute of sprinting, then walked 2 minutes to cool down and stretching! Its was amazing! I love it!! I am only running 22 minutes instead of the 25 I was doing before but nearly half of that was sprinting so it makes up for it I think! LOL! I pushed it up to 5.5mph tonight my short legs were a MOVING! was going to try for 6mph but chickened out! Maybe next time! Right on track with my points today too so I am feeling good tonight!
