>>204577 I don't consider what I did to be your general HIIT routine, although I guess by semantics it is. The thing to note is that my intervals were so short as to prevent any real injury potential. When I did tabata, the lactic acid buildup forced me to slow down during the end of my sprints. With this, there's never any need to slow down during the sprint, and thus you can genuinely go full out. This is probably way out of the way in terms of concentrating on fat loss due to the lack of general unpleasantness of long-term intensity, but the short-termed-ness of the sprints really make it beneficial in way of training your ability to sprint. In a way, it's kind of like lifting low reps, many sets, and bigger weight--as opposed to HIIT, which is few reps, few sets, slightly less-than-this weight.
