I've only been running as part of my HIIT for about 7 months. It's all been indoors on the treadmill. Spring is here and I'd like to move it outside. Any advice, suggestions?

I don't think jogging is healthy, especially morning jogging. If morning joggers knew how tempting they looked to morning motorists, they would stay home and do sit-ups.

Your concern touches me. I'll be running in a park where there is no motor traffic.

Oh great, muggers and rapists....oh, wait, maybe just the muggers are of concern here

does this mean you'll be lurking in the bushes?
Do I need different shoes?
Ducky45 saidJust make sure you jog on either grass or turf running on concrete will kill your knees!
gwuinsf saidWhat is HIIT?
Frankly, I can't run on a treadmill without becoming completely and utterly bored after 5 minutes. Running outdoors gives you things to look at, people to see, and my mind is able to think about other things other than "how much time do I have left" and "how far have I run? only .6 miles? WTF?!"
When I started running I had some knee problems, but it was due more to having improper running shoes. Go to a store that specializes in running and make sure you get a proper fit. It wasn't until I did that for the first time that anyone ever told me that I overpronate.
MunchingZombie saidI do HIIT outdoors, but I don't use time as a measurement. Sure, it is easy to count out 20 seconds on a treadmill, but if you are working your hardest looking at a watch is not workable. I use street lamps as markers. Sprint four lamps, jog eight, or however you work it.
