Totally agree. I've gone real old school and adopted a 19th century training plan. A brisk, 3 mile walk four days a week, 2x400m intervals on Tuesday, and a 6 mile long jog on Sunday. I'll let you know how it works out
Not bad, but do you do your brisk walks in combat boots?
Also, do you train your lungs by smoking? I have found this to be a game changer.

Ugh. I would have hated running with that schedule. Your 10×1000 equals 6 miles of intervals which is too much. Distance runners don't do 100M repeats. A 6/12 double on a weekday would have no benefit; a long run on Sunday is good enough. A short run on Friday is not necessary unless it's during a taper for an important race.
I'm not convinced tempos are necessary if someone is running intervals ranging from 800 to 1600.
Are you sure about that?. Before making definitive responses you may want to know what you're talking about.

I'll take those PB's all day long.
Happy Friday!
Be careful. Keep in mind that you only have a limited number of heartbeats per lifetime. Make sure that you do not overuse them in training.
When I was a soph I was told I only had a certain number of steps till I'd eventually do too many and get injured, that dogma still presists

10x1000m @ 3k pace!!!
With only 2 mins rest!!!
Geb, Bekele, Prefontaine, Guerrouj did only 6 with up to 3 mins rest.
That sounds like an impossible workout, but everything else looks pretty good (maybe a little faster on the tempo)
I was having a cup of tea while reading this!
