It isn't dangerous, per se, but it certainly isn't going to build endurance, heart muscle or lung capacity... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 You might try to speed up a few times during your walk, or walk hills as you can. The increased heart rate will do you a world of good without having to run....

Not being an athlete of any sort, this isn't a push button issue for me, but I do tend to side with the HIIT perspective. From a purely aesthetic perspective, I think sprinters have *way* better physiques than marathon runners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
