From the conclusion of the article: "go 8 seconds on and 12 seconds off for 60 rounds", where "on" is max effort, what does "off" mean? Is it medium effort or zero effort or is it something that you modify as your endurance increases?
"Sprint -> Jog"
or
"Sprint -> Walk"
or
"Sprint -> Lie on the ground, motionless"
?

It's also easier on my joints than sustained running at a steady speed.
