I agree with you, especially about a runner aiming for 4000 to 8000 meters of interval work at 95-100%. Initially in February-March, I was doing 10 x 400s but have eventually gone to 7 x 600s and 5 x 800s. Since I’ve alternated this on Tuesdays in April, the times in races have become a lot better.

Next month, I’m going to incorporate 4 x 1000s, something I’ve never done before. I’ve once in a group workout have done 3 x 1200 but never attempted it again.

Hope things are going well with you. Team Baldrunner and everyone there. Please take care.
