  I would say both Interval Training and Endurance Running are equally essential if one wishes to improve his timing for his run.
  
  Of coz, the above mentioned is in the context of runners, specifically long distance runners. For gym wise i'm not exactly sure of its application.
  
  But you are wrong to say that jogging is Not good.
  
  Not trying trying to provoke any temperamental person here, but it's just the truth.

  Exactly, i'm trying to say it is as impt as Interval Training, which you commented that one shld engage in it instead.
  
  So your "not as gd as you think it is" is a no no.

  Let's not spread the misconception of running and prevent any spark off of unnecessary arguments.

  I will agree that HIIT or interval training burns fat better, but jogging short distances (around 4km) is a totally different thing. It is just a different style of training.
  
  It is only someone with little knowledge who can actually claim that any bad effects of jogging will add up over the distances to that of a marathon

  Warning
  
  The Tremblay group and Dr. Tabata, in his e-mail response to Richard Winett, emphasize this warning: "High-intensity exercise cannot be prescribed for individuals at risk for health problems or for obese people who are not used to exercise."

  jogging is an aerobic exercise that burns fat. What are the alternatives to jogging? Are they running and riding the gym bike?
