Can someone enlighten me on the interest of Bill Bowerman's progressive sessions such as 6x(800m (10km pace --> 1.5km) + 300m (1.5km pace --> 800m)? What physiological interest?
I hope someone can understand your question and enlighten you but I sure can't. What do you want to know?
I read that Bill and Salazar were doing this session: 4-6x(800m + 1’30 rest + 300m) R: 3’ rest. I would like to know what are the benefits ? I read that the 800m are @5k pace to 1.6k pace and the 300m are @1.6k pace. Why not do evreything @1.6k pace ?

Bill, as in Bowerman, and Salazar? Bowerman was retired when Salazar was there. Do you mean Dellinger?
Go train under Pat Tyson at Gonzaga

The workout gets harder as you go on and requires you to go faster, just like a race.
