We do a lot of sprints in the gym and I do some on my own. Probably 3-4 times a week. I don't know what tabata sprints are. We just do wind sprints and alternate people, one runs while the other jogs in place back and forth 1,3,5,7,5,3,&1 times.
I've added some other agility sprints as well side to side and running forwards and backwards.
Luckily, I've never gassed out in a bout. What are these sprints you do?
