Moderate intensity intervals and longer distance != HIIT. :p
What you describe sounds more like workouts I did in swimming, basically tempo work structured as intervals. |

Lol, yeah, I just saw 'intervals' and thought of...intervals (400/600/800/1200/1600/1200/800/600/400). They were always considered short to me- I'm also talking about total distance covered.
Although, like I said, by the end of the season, we were basically doing that which is/was consistent with what you're describing; nothing beyond 400 meters.
Huh, Domesticated... |

| In swimming we did some very HIIT-like stuff just before championships at the end of the season, low volume but really intense work right near race pace with very little rest. The rest of the season was mostly aerobic intervals (at or slightly below lactate threshold) supplemented with practice races with big rests between. |

Interestingly enough, swimming practice was mandatory for all runners on the varsity team, and we did three a week before school started.
The breath control exercises alone did wonders for my running, as it's all about getting your body accustomed to training/racing with oxygen debt.
The end result of this translated to faster times in a more refined, relaxed, and even manner. |

| Just came back from a 4 mile run in 5 degree weather with 0c windchill and I feel like sex. |

Mcneil is a beast, I have seen him running the trails around Flagstaff. Hope he does well in cross this year. Actually NAU as a team should do real well this year too. |
That's so funny to hear that. When he's back home I usually see him running near my place too. |

| I have taken up a new "diet," which basically consists of eating nothing but meat and non-starchy vegetables plus the rare fruit. Have dropped about twelve pounds in the past two weeks (probably some of it water) and have been feeling very good. Doing cardio more frequently to help melt off the weight. |

Your headed into the keto realm. The fruit is keeping u out of it, so if u want to come off quicker, drop that and up fat intake a bit. Good work :toocool: |

| Meh, I eat one piece of fruit a day, <100 calories usually, so I doubt that is doing much besides giving me a few minerals and vitamins. I don't really care one way or the other about ketosis though as I am not in a rush to lose weight and if I feel this good for the next month or so I plan to make this so-called "diet" a permanent thing. It seems like my skin is clearing up as well, but that may be due to more frequent exercise. |

Skin will clear, along with other stuff. I love Keto and am a huge supporter for it, as it has worked extremely well for me. I use it after bulks which really I hardly ever do longer than 3 weeks anymore. Keeps u shredded but I'm into lifting heavy...all natural btw ;) You've made great progress though bro, cheers. Not everyone can do it. |

| First half marathon in over half a year this Sunday. Haven't done too many long runs in the last couple of months (focusing more on speed work, i.e., 5-10km) so it'll be interesting to see how things work out. |
