High Intensity Interval Training

I need to start doing some HIIT.

Intervals to Start?

Let's start arbitrarily with 30 second high intensity intervals, with 2 minute rests.

Intensity?

I think intensity will be easy to work out. All I have to do is look at my power curve for the duration of the high intensity interval, and pick a power level near it.

Should I strive to nearly match my record? Or should I try to exceed it?

Where?

Levee Road. The roads are flat and relatively free of intersections or traffic or pedestrians.

Data Points

I definitely need an activity that displays power. Can I display the time remaining in the interval?

Heart Rate
Speed
Cadence


I tried this in August of 2024 (nearly two years ago). It looks like I tried four 30-second intervals with a 325 watt target, and 2-minute rests. My notes only suggested I had barely gotten the hang of it.

I need to find a closer place for HITT. Levee Road will work, and I'll think about someplace closer.
