[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you like running, that is great.  Instead of doing a slow/moderate pace long run, I would change it to interval running at least 3/5 of the days you run.  I like doing sprints of various lengths.  If you have access to a track, my go-to is 100m sprint, rest 30 sec, 200m sprint, rest 30 sec, 400m sprint, rest 2 min- do this 3 times .  You can adjust the distance and rest times if you need to.  Or if no track, do time based sprints wherever it is you run: sprint 1 min, 30 sec rest, sprint 2 min, 2 min 30 sec rest, sprint 4 min 2 min rest

Running like this really give you a huge metabolic boost and better calorie burn [/quote]

I have been a "runner" for years, but fairly sporadic (like 2 times a week in the last 5 years). I enjoy running, but usually plod along at about a 10:00 pace and listen to a podcast for 3-5 miles. Two weeks ago I started incorporating HIIT runs, and I LOVE them. I made a playlist of some good upbeat music, jog during the verses and then "kick it up a notch" during the choruses. Sometimes it's near sprinting and sometimes just a bit faster. But my pace is now down around 8:45-9:00 on those runs. And it definitely picks up the cardio. [/quote]
