This is a threshold workout for DT - falls under the category of Cruise Intervals (Daniels parlance). It is still base season for him. That being the case it is plenty fast enough as a cutdown for him.
And he isn't Steve Scott or John Walker so why expect him to train as such - they couldn't train at the intensity of El G either, so what?
So many arm-chair coaches here who probably haven't coached anyone in their life. It is frickin' January - NO ONE should be doing higher intensity unless they hope to run fast indoors - pretty sure DT only cares about whether he is ready for Trials in June, then how he races if he gets into DL meets after that.
He's not even close to Steve Scott because he's not training hard enough. I bet if he stepped up his intensity he'd be just as good or better than Scott.
In his defense he did go to Cal.
