what is the notation? HIIT 5/95? means what? Can I just do a ten minute hard run in the morning a few times a week?

Those are heart rate zones, high intensity interval training (HIIT) is zone 5. Here's the first description I found: https://www.polar.com/blog/running-heart-rate-zones-basics/ Since it's interval training, just doing 10mins hard is not what's prescribed. It's more like doing repetitions of, say, 2 mins easy and 30s sprints.
