Burn Fat Running: The 15 Second Drill

The 15 Second Drill
Starting at the baseline speed established per my instructions in this article “Burn Fat Running on a Treadmill”, you will increase by .1 MPH every 15 seconds until you reach your maximum limit as outlined in the fore mentioned article.
Once you reach the maximum limit, stay at that speed for 15 more seconds, then decrease back down to your baseline speed.
Run your baseline speed for 15 seconds, then repeat the process over again.
You can repeat this process as long as your fitness level allows. I usually do not do this workout for more than 30 minutes and follow it with a 5 to 10 minute cool down that is slower than my baseline pace and decreases gradually over the time of the cool down.
As you become more comfortable with this workout and it becomes less challenging, then it may be time to re-evaluate your baseline and maximum limits or increase the duration of the workout.
So if someone is looking for ways to burn more fat running on a treadmill, then this is a good one here.
