Julia,

Folk swear by HIIT, which isn't sustainable over 90min (15min is typical, with warm-up/cool-down additional). The key is the "high intensity" part: a heart-rate monitor can give you the range to shoot for above your usual interval training rate. Lots of folk here can give you good advice on HIIT, and there's an intro at Muscle Media that mentions running, stair-stepper, and cycling HIIT.

Cheers--
