By cruise intervals you mean running slow? Don't see how that will help you for the mile.


Cruise intervals are like the interval form of a tempo run. Same benefits. Instead of one long sustained high aerobic effort, you do intervals at a faster pace with either a short standing rest or a longer rest but still running (like a fartlek). So this pace could range from 400m pace to 5k race pace to make up for the rests (since you dont get to rest during a normal tempo run). But it would still be a tempo workout and not a speed workout.

The main concern you should have with your coach is... Are you improving? If you are, then you got nothing to worry about.
