Where To Do Interval Training Running Workouts?

Doing interval training workouts on the treadmill is fine if you’re using longer intervals since it takes most treadmills a fair amount of time to reach the desired speed. I would suggest using the treadmill for running workouts that involve intervals of at least 30 seconds. Using faster and thus shorter intervals of 10 or 15 seconds could be more difficult because it will take the treadmill that long to reach the intended speed.

To do interval running workouts outside is fairly simple yet not as accurate when it comes to calculating running speed. My best advice is to use a track if you can. That way you’ll know exactly how much distance you cover in a given amount of time and thus can calculate your speed or pace.
