This is the workout

400/30 sec rest/800/ 1 min rest/300

What is the purpose of this workout? I guess it was used by the fins and russians.

It is supposed to be done at mile race pace or faster

We do 2 sets of these w/ 7 min rest in between.

I went 3:56, 3:49.

I just don't understand what the purpose is?

We call this a model - the purpose is to practice and possibly predict race pace. I've seen it used in the last 4 to 6 weeks before peaking.

I'm thinking you should be able to go 3:52ish in the 1500m off of this right now??
