2x20' UT1
3x15' UT1

As found in Indoor Sports Services Interactive weight loss programme. The training zone notation sets a limit on HR and, by extension, pace. The inactive period is defined by time necessary to reduce HR to 2xRHR or some will stop only for a drink and a towel-off which they will consider to be a comfort stop rather than a rest period.

Don,t excist, if you stay aerobe you don,t need rest, so no intervals needed. If you do need rest, you are going anaerobe in way.

Did you check this thoroughly before posting Henry?

I have a book The Cardio Code where the author writes:

Aerobic training methods

To design an aerobic high intensity interval, the most important thing to consider is the work: rest ratio. Once that has been decided, the appropriate

intensity has to be chosen. This can be done by using a heart rate monitor. Usually, a lower-and upper range of intensity is applied when describing

aerobic high intensity intervals. In the charts below, you can see the work: rest durations and the corresponding heart rate for long and short aerobic high

intensity intervals, respectively.

Those are not aerobic sessions, they do use the fast fiber muscle, which work anaerobicly and produce lactate, the slow muscle fibers use that lactate and keep the blood lactate levels in check, and the rest is needed to extra clear the lactate which accumulates. People call that aerobic training but its not.
Pure aerobic training tries to not to rely on the fast muscle fibers and keeps lactate levels steady and low, so breaks are not needed.

Stuff like this is more threshold training, the whole is used, both aerobicly and anaerobicly, but the very high end of the anaerobic system is left out.

many of us do 3 x 20' or similar. Those are aerobic. The interval allows one to rearrange, change channel, make it bearable, get a drink of water, etc. I wouldn't call those "INTERVALS", like we talk about on this forum though. Usually, when we talk about intervals in this forum we are pushing out of aerobic and into the higher levels of intensity.

High volume, aerobic training sessions executed in a discontinuous format do exist: formally (the notation indicative of interrrupted effort) and by design (to interrupt "going anaerobe"). I mentioned earlier that a comfort stop in, say, a 3x20', (as employed by at least one member here with a daily training blog ) need not involve a HR reset so this is admittedly a pretty soft and porous definition of interval training of the looks like a duck sort.

I admit to being unaccustomed to hearing the expression "high intensity aerobic intervals" as per Teddy's lnked material. Does this simply equate to "high aerobic" or UT1 training band from our generally Anglocentric/O'Neill-dominated perspective?

Thanks for all your replyes.

I do 3 x 15' every week.

But thats just not what the author mentioned. It look more likes AT training.
Hi suggest fx 3 x 6'.

Ask Mr. Jay to explain himself, Teddy. AT is anaerobic threshold work by definition.

Whats in a name Teddy, training is mostly pretty simple, put in the work, how its called is less important. If you still do 3 sessions a week, you better make every session count.

My biggest 'problem' is that i love interval training and have also looked at the very tempting PP 5k. But this isnt what you guys recommend.
