==Traditional Anaerobic Intervals==
High intensity Interval Training has been in use since before the [[Tabata]] study made the term popular. The Jack Daniel's 'R' paced workouts are a classic example of this tradition of anaerobic interval training. The Jack Daniel's 'R' intervals are performed at around mile/1500m pace<ref name="JD"/>, which is generally close to 100% [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]]. The 'R' workouts are 12-40 repeats of 30-60 seconds with 1-4 min rests<ref name="JD-P132"/>. Jack Daniels mentions once having his athletes perform over 1,000 repetitions of one minute HIIT (4 minute rest) in a 14 day period, with two male athletes averaging 5:00 min/mile pace and therefore covering 250 miles<ref name="JD-P132"/>.
=Fellrnr's Tabata Audio=
I created a short audio file for my Tabata (WinTab), adding a countdown and interval counts. I started with [https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/sandstorm-ep/id251130083| Darude's Sandstorm], [[Remixing Music For Running| remixed it to 180 BPM]] and then extracted short snippets. I then recombined the snippets with voice countdowns so that I didn't need to look at a watch or timer to execute the workout. You can download or play [http://fellrnr.com/FellrnrTabata.mp3 the MP3 file of Fellrnr's Tabata]. (I believe that I'm making fair use of Darude's work, given I am only using a short section of the original and modifying it heavily. If you want to enjoy the overall song, this MP3 file is not it!)
=HIIT Training Mode=
There are various ways that HIIT could be performed, each with their own pros and cons.
