Hi All,

After a few months of on-and-off adherance to "almost HIIT" (45sec/45sec 4mph/10mph on the treadmill), I've recently decided that I really should do I properly, i.e. outside where I can really sprint.

I'm starting off with 30sec/15sec jog/sprint for 5 minutes. Had my first session yesterday and got completely dominated, which is more or less what I expected. Looking forward to session 2 tomorrow morning

Anyway, one of the things I organised before starting was a set of HIIT workout mp3's which have beeps inserted into them to let me know when to start/stop intervals (so I don't have to look at my watch all the time). Each track is 45 seconds long and has a beep after 30 seconds (start sprinting) and another beep at the end (stop sprinting).

To make things a little more interesting however, I decided to overlay the beeps into musical clips that already have high/low intensity periods where the musics builds up and then suddenly begins a more intense part of the song. This way the music really feels like it's in tune with your workout, and is an excellent motivator to really go for it during that sprint.

So i figured that since i've already created them I may as well post them around a bit in case other can get some benefit out of them. If you like to give them a go, you can download them from my blog at Wayward Wellingtonians: HIIT Training Tracks.

That's pretty cool that you can do that.

If you don't mind me asking, even though it's a little off-topic, what songs have you chosen for your sprinting??
