It's something I never really thought of. What do you guys think? It could be sort of tough to structure/pull off, depending on your day job and/or activities. But, there are ways to do it if you use your "noggin." I wouldn't thinkg that you couldn't do this with anything long...I wouldn't think much of anything over 400m. Possible ideas:
Do one of the following 4-6 days/week:
-400m x 3-5 times per day
-100m x 8-10 times per day
-200m x 5-8 times per day
-50m x 20-25 times per day
Now, I know you'd get better at the individual run itself, but what about overall conditioning? Fat loss? Endurance?
Thoughts?

I have a dog. A grayhound that--no surprise--likes
to run.
We go on a walk twice a day. 2 miles in the
morning, 1 mile at night. Several times a week I
run with him for time/distance, usually in the
100-200 yard range, in the form of a Tabata
intervals. We'll do anywhere between three and
eight of them depending on the day.
What I found was that my endurance increased
slightly, and that I got "better" at the interval itself.
I didn't really notice much change in my "over-all"
condition, or fat loss, but then I have been doing
this kind of stuff pretty much non-stop for a very
long time and my conditioning is high, and my
body fat is low.
Though I have no science to back this up, I suspect
that if a person wasn't in "good" shape they might
see greater initial gains, across the board, than I
have. And as always it is better to do SOMETHING
rather than nothing.
