    30 seconds is the upper end of your high intensity portion. If you are sprinting or doing the stairmill at level 17+ even just ten seconds is pretty intense after a few rounds. I would start with shorter high intensity bursts to be sure you get some level of recovery on your lower level.

    gotcha. What I have done in the past was at the top end I was at @160bpm then once I got back down to 130ish I jump back up. I wear a hr monitor so thats why I was asking; and how accurate to I have to be. As far as time, I dont really remember but I get the idea!

    Thanks again!

    I take this same approach, as I wear a HR monitor too but I try to get up to the 170-180 range on my sprints and the drop back down to 130 and then increase again. 160bpm isn't bad but I like there to be more of a difference in my high and low heart rates.
