No runner says "I'm doing a 20 by 400" and means that 10 of the 400s are the rest breaks. Neither would this mean that he did 16 @ 5000 meter pace and 16 as rests.
I couldn't do the workout without severely falling off, but some people have the right combination of genes and work ethic. This is possible.

Yeah there's no way this is correct. 32x400 is 8 miles on the track. If he did a 400 between each one that would be 16 miles total on the track. Even if he did a 100 meter jog between each one that would be 10 solid miles on the track, running hard.
What is wrong with you??
I was a 800m/1600m runner in HS and I used to do 24x400m at slightly slower than mile pace, and would finish with a mile at 4:45 at the end, which was actually probably a harder workout than 32x400!

Ryan Hall's was rumored to do training such as 10 miles @ 5 min pace at high altitude. I think even that is pretty intense for a teenager. Esp if you're only racing 5k and below.
Ryan hall did 49-minute 10-mile tempos winter of senior year, but at sea-level, not altitude.
