Treadmill Sprints
Okay I want to know the nitty gritty about this, so please give me some idea about methods, sets ect. I really have no clue about doing this effectively.

i like to run hill sprints on the treadmill, or rather sprints with the incline as high as it will go. ive only done 2 workouts though, i started after i saw this video.

you can get creative with your intervals. some of my favorites are 20on/10off, 30on/15off, and 20on/20off, but you can do whatever you want

i am aware this does not answer the poster's question but........personally, i can do jog/sprint intervals for what seems like an eternity on a treadmill, but when i hit a trail in the woods or a big open field ect., i really feel like i am working towards the goal. it simply makes me work harder (to me its like the difference of using machines vs. free weights). best case scenario is find a nearby hill, jog around said hill, then do sprints up and down the hill, rinse/repeat. if you live in a flat place like i do a bayou works just as well. this maximizes my time and effort which is quite desirable, for my time is very valuable to me, as i am sure yours is to you. good day

My thoughts exactly - except for the "Bayou" and the "Good Day"
...however...
Try doing a circuit of about 15 minutes from walking pace to a comfortable jog, then every two minutes, jack the speed up two points. Every station has to be run for AT LEAST two minutes.
Once you reach full running speed, work at lasting for FOUR minutes, then reduce the pace to an easy run to catch your breath. Start again on the two minute/two speed point intervals, but also jack the incline up as well on each station, until you end up sprinting up hill.
Run until gasping - then run a bit more.
Two days later, get out on a fire trail.

This is my general routine...I do this once or twice a week.
Warm up run of 1 mile at 6.0 mph
increase speed to 8.0 for quarter mile
jump off treadmill and increase speed to 12-14 mph
jump on treadmill and run 1/4 mile at this pace
jump off and shadowbox or just jump up and down for 30 secs
jump back on and repeat (5x)
decrease speed to 6.0 for cool down....run this for 1/2 mile.
decrease to walking speed for either quarter or half mile to end
