If you are trying to improve running performance or lose weight, stick with 400 meter intervals or longer. You can vary the workout every week and progress by increasing the number, decreasing the rest interval, increasing the distance of each interval, and finally running them faster. See the link for a sample progession of interval training. note: you need a stopwatch. Running intervals are great! You can finish up in less than 30 minutes and really give your metabolism a tremendous boost. You will also be a much better runner. depends on your purpose- if you are tying to improve your sprint speed, keep the intervals short like 100m.
