Well, to sum this very good runner up I say it looks like he is a so called strength runner without enough top end speed to medal at WC or OG . With his 27 min 10000m he has a very good chance to become a great road runner and later on especially at the half/ marathon. 🇸🇪🤠🇸🇪

Interesting runner with 13 min/ 27 min pb;s 5000m/ 10000m .
25 x 400m @ average 59 sec with 60 sec rest? Think Paul Tergat did same workout long time back in average 56-57 sec ...
Well, a runner with 13:00 / 27:00 should stay with 62-63 sec in a maxVO2 25 x 400m with 60 sec rest....going faster will be counterproductive. Better to do another day a ' compliment ' repetition workout at a faster pace ( 1500m-3000m pace)..
His thresholds are also a little bit too fast and he should stay at around 2:50 min/ km .🇸🇪🤠🇸🇪
I agree, this is one of those workouts that looks really impressive but isn't good training. 59s per 400m pace is well past his (or anyone's) 5k/10k race pace, wayyyyy over threshold, and doesn't challenge his closing speed either.
