I read an interview with Zersenay Tadese and his coach (not in English so I'm not giving a link) where they state that this is what he ran in training last season. Is this the toughest workout ever?

Thats total bs. He would easily be running 26:30 for a 10k if that were the case.
this workout is BS because it is the pace of the 10k world record and the pace is very close to Zersenay's 5k ability last year.
the pace is 2:37/k, 13:07/5k and 26:15/10k.
I would bet the route was more like 3.8k (or shorter) which would convert the 4k's to around 11:00, 2:45 pace and right on his HM WR pace at the fastest
They said it had been run in forests in Madrid so you're right that the route was not precisely measured probably.

Exactly what I thought. 4x4k at 5k race pace, eh? Yeah, riiiiight...
forests in Madrid lol
epo central
I don't know why you guys doubt this so much. Tadesse is clearly an endurance powerhouse and has certainly been in 26:30 shape before. That combined with huge 2min rests makes this workout very reasonable.
