For those who are curious: both are beneficial, but what's the difference? Would you prefer steady-paced running or short bursts of sprinting? While the former is more enjoyable for me, HIIT clearly has advantages for those pressed for time. Which method do you use and why? It would be interesting to hear everyone's experiences.
Steady-state vs HIIT—which do you prefer?

So what about the factors that affect the efficiency of steady‑state versus HIIT for different people? For instance, most of us are under time pressure and also have joint health concerns. In my experience, entrepreneurs in their 30s‑40s tend to prefer steady‑state—it's enjoyable and sustainable long‑term without taxing the body. But for those who work late and can’t fit a workout in at the crack of dawn, a 20‑minute HIIT session can be a lifesaver. In your experience, which one feels more practical, or do you combine both?
So, I've always been curious about how different HIIT is compared to just running at a steady moderate pace. As someone with time constraints, I find HIIT really practical—just 15–20 minutes is enough. Which method do you think is easier?
