yep, this is a tricky one. I am still thinking most would begin aerobic on the longer runs aiming to come home comfortable, then hit it on the 400m. Go too hard on sessions like these and you burn yourself out.

all i can say is to try the breakdown session. youl learn fast bout what im trying to say. as you go from 6-400 and so on you will tend to get more confident hence run faster but try the sessions!

I am going to try them, starting next month.
Ouch, these sound painful! Sounds like intensive tempo work really since how fast can you run 8-6-4 in that order? I suppose this would get you mentally strong though just to get used to covering that distance in a decent pace. Defintely sounds long to short or some hybrid combination of endurance and speed work.
"Mondays it's "breakdowns," full-speed sprints of 500, 400, 300 and 200 meters, with ten minutes of rest between each one. Other days she'll sprint 150 meters, then walk 250, then repeat the cycle six times. Or she'll practice gun starts, blasting out of the blocks five or ten times with all the speed and intensity of a real race. After all these workouts come strenuous jumping exercises that prepare her leg muscles to explode on demand. Two days a week she's in the weight room for an hour or two at a time."Originally Posted by ksnideman
