Sprint interval training is an approach to training mostly seen by advanced athletes. Athletes with a higher training age have the physiological and neurological adaptations that occur over time with consistent training working in their favor. They understand what it's like to redline, to push to maximum capacity and go into the pain cave. Athletes who are newer to sport and training will have a harder time not only mentally but also physiologically getting their body to get to a true maximum effort place. Because of this, SIT training is a more advanced training technique.
