30-second run
1 minute rest/walk
4 reps x 3 sets

2 minute run
1 minute of rest/walk
4 reps x 2 sets
Rest 2 minutes between sets
Complete each run at a pace that is challenging, but sustainable for all of the repetitions. You're pace will increase as you become more fit.
45 second hard run
2 minute rest
8 reps x 2 sets
Rest 3 minutes between sets
The 45 second run should be a fast pace. The pace is about 2:30-3 minutes faster than you usually run your mile. For example, if you usually run the mile in 8 minutes, the pace you run for 45 seconds should be at a 5-5:30 minute per mile pace.
