What does 'strength workout' refer to in running. I'm reading a PowerPoint that John Gondak, PSU XC/TF coach, put together. He has workouts like 5-6 x 800 in 2:30, 2 sets of 5 x 300 with 90 sec rest and 4 min rest on sets in 45 sec, and 3 x 200, 2 x 300, 400, 2 x 300, 3 x 200 in 60-70 sec per 400 as strength workouts. What does that mean? My guess would have to be it refers to aerobic fitness.
The PowerPoint is available at the below link for reference:

The 'strength workouts' I'm speaking of are on slides 7-8.
