The kind of HIIT I'm doing is only 10-20s bursts, to stay within ATP-PCr energy metabolism (little lactic acid production). A short sprint followed by 2 minutes

- jjcob 16d agoYeah, it doesn't actually work for "real" sprinting. Standard treadmills take too long to get up to speed. But if you do 30-60s work intervals treadmills work just fine.
