If you have access to a 400m track, you can sprint the straightaways and walk the corners, or vice versa. Do that for 4 laps and you are good to go.

Thanks, lots of good ideas.
When I first started primal, I would do my heavy lifting then immediately after do a sprint workout where I would sprint down a straight away and walk the rest until the starting point. The track was indoors and was about half the size of a standard track.
Lately I have been "sprinting" for 40 seconds on the treadmill. Rest for exactly 40 seconds and go again. It helps you stay on top of the time, you can easily control the speed and you don't have to worry about weather, space, etc. Add a little elevation and it becomes quite the workout.
Some people may give you a few looks if you do interval training on a treadmill at the gym.

I know I'm not the thread starter, but I want to thank everybody for their responses here anyway. Sprinting is the part of Primal Blueprint Fitness that I have done the worst job of implementing. It's something I want to fix, so the advice is helpful!
