10-20-30 Training Counts Intervals

10-20-30 Training involves running fast for 10 seconds, then moderate for 20 seconds and finishes with very slowly for 30 seconds. It is in reality a 30 second, two stage interval followed by a 30 second recovery. This pair takes exactly one minute and I use this to count intervals. If my stopwatch reads 5 minutes I know I have run 5 intervals. I previously ran 400 meter intervals and then ran very slowly until my heart rate dropped below 130 bpm. My old method had no convenient method of counting intervals like 10-20-30. So far I have only discovered good things about 10-20-30 training.
