Just because they are a few seconds slow makes it a fail on the workout? I dont follow your logic. It was a great workout by a gold and a silver medalist who have the potential to do great things in moscow this summer.
Here's a pic...
Tried the imgur idea...not sureif it works!
Not the best pic, as I didn't want to be some paparazzi...
As far as rest...didn't seem like time was even going through their minds. Just shag jog...super slow...
I'd estimate about 4 minutes..
Thanks for the photo and info.

At Oregon (and running for Salazar) they usually have goal paces for each rep. It wasn't a cutdown workout by accident. Based on what I know about their approach my guess is that it was supposed to be 4 X 1600 at 66,65,64, etc.
in other words ...
4:24, 4:20, 4:16, 4:12, 4:08, 4:04 or blow it out.
It was very close to this, 1 or 2 seconds off (.25-.5 secs/lap) for all the reps except the fifth one.
I don't think you run 4:22 and 4:03 in the same workout unless you are planning to run it that way. There are physiological reasons for doing it this way, this is not race simulation. After all, the guy that was there said they took 4:00 betw reps and they did run 26 laps. that is not Oregon race simulation (which Salazar was big on in his day).
…What about Rudisha?
Who is that in front of Rupp?
