Aerobic HIIT - 4 Minutes On, 3 Minutes Off

Run continuously for 4 minutes targeting 1 kilometer (1,000 meters / 0.62 miles) per bout, followed by 3 minutes of recovery, completed for 4 total repetitions. Prescription: 4 repetitions of 4 minutes running with 3 minutes recovery; target 1 kilometer per bout.

Key points

  • Sustain a disciplined pace targeting exactly 1,000 meters per 4-minute block
  • Take full advantage of the 3-minute rest to clear blood lactate
  • Do not stop abruptly at the 4-minute buzzer; walk for 30 seconds to initiate active recovery

Common mistakes

Underestimating the distance and dropping below the 1 km target on repetitions 3 and 4.
