My legs start to burn even before I am panting for air (20mins HIIT). Does this happen to everyone? Today was the worst. My legs burnt so much that I couldn't walk for sometime. I don't get this feeling when I squat.

Oh thanks, you just answered what I asked above. I am right now doing that: run as fast as possible for 45secs (9 to 10mph) and the walk for 1 min (3mph). My cardio always sucked and I have started to like it (like going faster/longer everytime I go in).
This would sound ridiculous, but is there a way to do cardio that doesn't involve legs?? I hear P90X does that but I dont' want to do P90X right now.Shut the F up and Squat

Basically Lactate Threshold refers to the intensity you can work to before you begin to accumulate lactate faster than you can clear it. So theoretically, if you train below your lactate threshold, you should be able to train almost indefinitely without acidification of the blood and tissues. Thus ATP and Muscle damage would be your limiting factors (if your VO2 max is higher than your lactate threshold)
I'm by no means an expert in lactate threshold training. I only know that adaptations can be made, but it is largely genetically predetermined. I did a quick search on it, and they basically say increasing the volume of aerobic training is the best way to increase lactate threshold... so what does that mean, I guess? They describe it as "if your currently training 100 minutes daily, and want to be able to train for 200 minutes, to increase the amount of time per training session gradually... OK duh... that sounds simple enough, but you're talking about getting burnt out on hiit, which makes sense, since sprinting is anaerobic, and lactate will accumulate faster. My guess would be that you would want to find a training intensity just below your lactate threshold (through trial and error... it will probably be a moderate to fast jog, I would assume), and work at that for a period of time, until it becomes difficult... then the next time you do it, you'd do it a little longer and so on.
That's just what I take away from the couple things I just read, but again, I'm by no means an expert in this.
