All in all, though the The main purpose with the 20 x 400m at 5 k race pace is to make the energy process more effective at this pace by repeating the workout often ( mostly weekly year round). What also contributes to the reduced energy consumption at the pace is the continuously improved biomechanics. As long as one keeps the reps relatively short ( 200- 600m ) it will just contribute to improve the runner week by week, month by month, year by year , until the runners optimum performances will be reached.In chatting with Ingebrigtsen`s Norwegian physiologist L-I Tjelta he just confirmed to me this is the way to look at it.
Isn't that true of any specific pace training?
