Is it HIIT if i sprint about 80 yards to a wall, jog a total of 160 yards from wall to wall then sprint 80 yards and do it for 20 mins?

HITT is more about your HR than what exercise you are doing --- what I follow

2 min - 60-70%
1 min - 90%
Repeat

just hit the forward button to get your text back.

what if your doing 90% and you slow down to do the 60-70 but your HR is still too high and takes more than 2 minutes or whatever ??. Would you be better off slowing right down, wait till it hits 60-70, do that for the required min, and then back up to 90?

Well i'm guessing it will take me about

30 seconds- 90%
1 minute- 60-70%

Does that work as well?
