everyone always says im an idiot and admittedly I have no formal education its sports performance but when I was training for a triathlon I did a ton of sprint work. instead of running 5, 8, or 10 miles I would find a bigass hill, sprint up it as fast as possible, jog down, and sprint up again. for like 20 minutes. that was the majority of my running training and I did the best in the running portion
after you acclimatize to blowing your lungs out sprinting jogging even at a good pace feels like you're not even working. it's also more time efficient
You unintentionally were doing HiiT training, which is actually one the best kind of cardio training for weight loss. Probably not the greatest for long distance, but a mile and a half isn't really long distance
