Just incase it’s helpful I thought I’d let you know about the Interval Training I’ve just done (HIIT).
I’d read up a lot about this and there’s SO many versions you can try but today I tried the 30-20-10 version. About 33mins in total. I graduated C25K 2 weeks ago and have done a few 5Ks now but just wanted to mix things up a bit post C25K and improve fitness/speed/distance perhaps. I’m still a total novice but just having fun with my new found ability to run!
So, this was...
30sec average pace jog 20sec bit faster than normal 10sec fastest.
This was done 4 x and after I’d walk for 90secs. Then repeated all the above 3 x!
At start and end I did 5 mins walks and a 10 mins jog to warm up and 7mins jog to cool down.
Result...a bit of a challenge I have to say! Harder than I thought, so next time I’m going to just do 20secs fast 30secs slow, otherwise the same as above.
Was quite hectic as had wireless headphones in and my Apple Watch was beeping at me so much it got a bit confusing which beep meant what! Lol! Trial and error I guess! Also won’t listen to music whilst doing next time...that definitely added to the chaos! Haha!

Have you tried the JogRunSprint app as it does exactly what you mentioned but cues you in nicely with a “prepare to run” then a beep, then “”prepare to sprint” then beep etc so you can keep track easily. You can alter the reps/intervals/tests too and is free. I’ve used it a few time now 😊
I second that HM. It’s a great app isn’t it. Even though it’s hard not to slow down on the ‘prepare to’ rather than wait for the beep sometimes! 😅 I definitely recommend it futurefit . 👍
