I’ve been debating on the subject of high intensity training vs lower to 
moderate intensity training otherwise known as continuous training(click link training programs). There is a time and a place for both. Control the amount of intensity and you’ll be much better in the long run. High intensity interval training (HIIT) can produce to many mistakes that lead to illness, injury and burnout. Sure, the majority of athletes are time crunched. They have families, careers and other obligations. What happens to lost training time do to illness, injury and burnout?
The Pareto Principle is a good example of how to train. Spend 80% of your time below 70% max heart rate. Another way to look at it, and be on the safe side, is to take 180-age and train around this heart rate 80% of the time. How do you spend the 20%? That is the finesse part of training. There is a fine line between to much intensity.
