HITS - It hurts!

I tried HITS (High Intensity Training) this morning which I have been told good things about by my friend and fellow running advocate $$ Mike Cash $$


I actually tried this last Saturday, but I was told by Cash's Brother, Dr. Cash to do it this way.


(30s SPRINT // 1m30s WALK) x 8


It was pretty challenging like that because I have never done anything like this before. I was feeling sick and had a huge amount of saliva along with that wierd blood-like taste in my mouth. Basically it worked.


But this morning....
I tried the $$ Mike Cash $$ way which is much more intense and ends up being a longer workout. 


(30s SPRINT // 30s WALK // 30s SPRINT 1m WALK // 30s SPRINT 1m30s WALK) x 7


...it was good.


I think the thing I like most about this style of running is that in around half an hour I am getting a good morning run, as opposed to having to run for an hour or so the traditional way. Also the interval training is meant to really get your Metabolism firing for the rest of the day.
It is definately harder on my body so I am thinking twice a week will be a good addition to my current regime. 


To be honest I find distance running more enjoyable, but I can see how I will benefit from this.

My leg hurts ... HITS!!!!
