Very interesting - thanks for finding and posting it.

Just wondering if it needs a "health warning" that I think the exact programme that's being referred to has you increasing the distance you run for each interval, NOT the time. So that means that when you complete the programme you run 5k, but presumably it takes some people a longer time than others and not necessarily the "magic" 30 minutes .....

I think this was the original programme -- where you could run for either distance or time coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_...

Nice to see where it has all come from!

Ta for that Baz. It makes for very interesting reading.

Very interesting. Not surprised it's by a fellow softie. Thank's for the find.

Did anyone else get piccies of a dear little grey haired old man struggling out of an armchair with his walking stick swirling around while they looked at coolrunning.com/engine/... ?
