this is a sharpening workout. 3 mins rest is too long to make it a speed endurance session, and 7 reps is too many for a special endurance or lactate buffering session. the point of this workout seems to be to learn how to run fast and controlled repeatedly, without any significant stress. I would aim for a cutdown from mile pace to 800 pace (something like 47-46-45-46-45-44-43)

Why should he? Dumbness deserves to be pointed out. It wouldn't be nice not to.
Sometimes one can make the same point in a much nicer way. I recall the old saying you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, though that may not apply perfectly. Consider the following:
1) The sh*t hit the fan; and
2) The cat was put with the pigeons.
Very similar point, but the latter, even though in the passive voice, doesn't summon thoughts of excrement.
