Wow, that’s major cardio. Way to go!
FYI: From what I’ve read this past year, what you did was hard charging intervals, but not actual HIIT. 15 to 30 mins max is HIIT, as you should not be able to go longer, due to being so out of breath & the heart pounding in the chest. I’ve been doing intervals for yrs. In the past yr I’ve ramped up some of my cardio workouts to true HIIT, and I must say I can believe it, that 15 min’s is sufficient. I’m spent!
Congrats on your progress. Doing great.
