GI:there's a rule that says the last interval must be the fastest. The average speed of any set shall always be faster than the former. The same for intervals. If an interval is slower than any of the former, you have to stop. That's our mantra. There has to be an unambiguous form of progression in the session. That's a damage control mechanism. And when you run the first lap on 55.7s, you've set the bar pretty high when you have 15-20 to go. The last one was in 52.2s or something.
He ran 25x400 improving by 3.5 seconds, and each one of them was faster than the previous????
Therefore he had to improve each one by less than 2 tenths of a second, which would not have been possible.
That "always be faster" progression comment is obviously total nonsense.
Each set should be faster, each rep should not be slower than the last. Do you know the difference between rep and set you moron? He also said "when you run the first lap on 55.7s, you've set the bar pretty high when you have 15-20 to go." - how does this amount to 25 reps as you say?
Its hillarious how he lays it out yet people are to dense to take it in, trying to arrest him on details. Some people just cant be helped.
