These young men are in incredible shape. They run fast and have very good looking lean bodies. Their coach is obviously doing something right.

I'm surprised this run is on roads. I assumed that area had great access to trails being in the mountains and all.

Agreed. This is like a tragedy waiting to happen. And it is supposed to be just a run. Why does Mantz always have to run as hard as he can?
Most of the population of Utah is located either in the middle of endless paved suburbia or next to mountains that are too steep for collegiate runners to get any benefit from. Pretty much all the “trails” in Utah that are flat are paved. They literally don’t understand the concept of natural surface urban trails.
Young. Meaning 28.
Utahn here, agree with this synopsis. Really a bummer we don't have more urban soft surface trails.

You might consider sending an email to Eyestone since you know better.

Top collegiate runners at the end of the video lifting weights. Not a pretty sight!
It's easier to monitor your correct (even) effort by pace on relatively flat roads than running undulating trails. That's probably the purpose of the workout - to stay within the threshold effort without going too fast. Running on a hilly dirt trail makes that harder as guys will subconciously speed up or take hills too aggressively.
I'm sure they do off road hills, etc on other workouts.
4th Street Sustained, CU bread and butter workout back in the day.
Last stretch was along Broadway, from Kalmia to University. You want to run sub-5 pace along there? This video gave me flashbacks.
That's POWER
