    I just read the other thread on HIIT and i think it would be something that would greatly help me in my goal to lose a few pounds and get fitter.

    Now motivation is key for me. I could do it on my own but I know I would lose faith after a few weeks. I go to the gym 4-5 eves a week but the treadmill is not ideal for this training and I want to take advantage of the long evenings.

    So I was wondering if there was anyone out there interested in downloading a few HIIT running plans and hitting the park a few eves a week and motivate each other to getting fitter and lighter.

    Hey, Frag, I'm not too far from there and would be willing to give this a go. I'm not exactly Linford Christie, though.

    I'm only free Tuesdays and Fridays. I know that's kind of limiting, but unfortunately that's all I've got free at the minute.

    We tried to meet once about a year ago, but the weather was awful, and neither of us made it. I've since taken to HIIT sessions in the local park. It's definitely beneficial, and a good way to quickly bring down run times.

    What drills do you have? A few of us are looking to meet up twice a week to do these.

    and I have moved to London ha ha!

    I did however do boot camp last summer in Dublin and the HIIT was great. I highly recommend it.

    For running, I've been doing jog/run/sprints along the two sides of a football pitch and the diagonal, or shuttle runs if I don't have the space. I also do calisthenics circuits, but I'm not sure if they'd strictly be considered HIIT?
