Go running or follow HIIT program

The current literature suggests that if HIIT doesn't impede your recovery from weight training too much then it's superior to low intensity cardio for both health and fat loss.

I agree with this. Problem is that if you're doing heavy lifting such as squats or deads you can forget sprints.

Just don't do sprints on your heavy squat/DL day. I do them three times a week and walk at a brisk pace on my off day which is the day after legs which helps aid in recovery.

I couldn't recover good enough to sprint 1 or 2 days after heavy squats or DL and if someone has poor running mechanics they are just asking for injury imo.

That's why it's up to the individual to seek what works best for them. For you sprinting later in the week may fit you better OR if you are a PL who trains legs twice a week heavy then maybe sprints aren't for you right now and try them when your in a maintenance program.
