"Roll on" in workouts

2 things:

1. Link?

2. Se Bob Schul.

Sounds like Pre's 30/40 workout (200s alternating 30s, 40s) a workout I have done before and is definitely a really hard workout, and I feel like I benefit a lot from it as a mile/5k guy, but not one to be doing all time time. maybe once or twice a season, or as part of a larger workout.

Deek’s Quarter’s etc.. some of my favorite workouts.

Correct, use it to peak. Also, back in the day they used to do a sharpening workouts that consisted of sprinting the straights and taking the curves easy. I think Rod Dixon and John Walker would do two miles worth of this workout in under nine minutes. Lasse Viren would do 5000m worth of this workout in under 14 minutes.

Except there's no evidence Pre ever did that workout

Any other team or group out there that does r/o 's in their workouts? For those who don't know what a r/o is, instead of taking an easy jog between reps in workouts you replace it with a 200m (faster than regular run pace). Starting off is difficult because you are used to taking slow jogs or resting between reps. While it increases your aerobic system it also strengths your mindset because that is the hardest part of the workout. Anyone can run fast with rest.. Roll on's are the way to go

I don't get it, can you explain the workout more fully?

You do a hard rep, then instead of resting you do a harder rep in between? Seems impossible. Maybe give an example?

is there any evidence he didn't?

(and besides who cares either way... lots of people have done 30/40s or some facsimile thereof)

I was wrong, he did do that workout, just not as often as people think and it probably shouldn't be credited to him as if it were his idea or his favorite.

That's a Dellinger workout and you are basically calling him a liar. Pre did 18 laps of this and in his day Salazar lasted 11 or 12.

Anyway the workout mentioned in the OP is common. I think Magness calls it an alternation.

Magness sucks

Sounds like Canova training to me with rest intervals at a slightly reduced speed compared to the higher intensity intervals.

Maybe not as common in middle distance training?

Didn't Centro do this under his father's training?

That's a red herring. Does that mean you think this workout sucks?

Nope. And magness didn’t invent it.

The Michigan.

Also, Dellinger had his version.

I do this as a fartlek; I like incorporating hills.

Like I said, it's a common workout. Clearly Magness didn't invent it because he wasn't born when Dellinger had Pre do it at Oregon. Still don't understand the point of your cheap shot at Magness.

Cuz he sucks

If you think it sucks that an NCAA coach puts tons of free information online about training, you need to re-evaluate your life choices, and reconsider why you post here. Grow up.

I'm not taking your word for it.
