I run about 3-4 miles 3-4 times a week, do boxing/light mma training twice a week and have just started this. I'm a shade under 170 pounds and in pretty good shape, but this kicks my ass in a completely different way.

My wife and I both did Sprint 8 for years. It's a good, quick sprint program. Fun to see your progress as your max speed and "recovery" speeds climb. I think I was recovering at like 7.5 or 8 by the time I finished doing it and sprinting at like 14 or 15? I can't remember, though. That was the last running program I ever did (though I've been considering getting back on a sprinting program).

And yeah, basically a quick HIIT program for the treadmill.

Did your quads develop really quickly when you did it? Mine are really getting big quickly. I wish the rest of my body was seeing results like this. In three months of distance running and cross-fit, my legs didn't do shit compared to a few weeks of sprints.
