I see a lot of this in the the guys that run for Tom Schwartz. Are they just harder, more structured strides?

Look up research here:
They’re just strides. Most of the Tinman Elite guys do 10x20s @ mile pace with 20s jogs as part of a 60 minute run on a Monday/Thursday the day before a Tuesday/Friday workout.

Can you link the Schwartz workout schedule?
How can you tell your "pace" in 30" burst (unless you use a track... and even then,...)? Those are both effort workouts... the most experienced runners know to run them even without looking at the watch. Hope for your sake you are not relying on GPS for both....
Don't get caught up in the pace, it's just a marker so the person knows what kind of effort is expected. It could very well read 10x hard effort/ 30 sec easy...
We seem to spend a lot of time re labeling the same things over and over... what was "very hard, hard, relaxed, easy" turned into "V02Max, Tempo, Conversational, Recovery" or "T-Pace, I-Pace, R-Pace... " it's all the same stuff just with different names.

No they're not just strides. Basically these workouts are equivalent to 10x200 and 10x400 m on the track. The reason to do these just by time (1 min or 30 sec) is really not to put too much pressure on you, so you won't always try to beat your previous workouts, e.g. 10 x 200 in 29.7-30.5 sec. You just concentrate on running strongly for 30 sec, no matter if this is 180 or 220 meters that particular day.
They’re just strides.
