That is not "amazing" for a runner of his caliber. 2.00 800 runner Maria Akraka used to to 20x200 with a minute rest in 27.5 in the off season.
20 x 200 is a good workout but I a pro magic coach had given you a little slower pace and reps @ 35 sec . 🇸🇪🧙♂️🇸🇪
Did that workout a lot in HS (I was a 2 miler) but we would jog a 200 as our rest and we wouldn't do a tempo first, just a regular 1-2 mi warm-up. Also the 200 reps were supposed to stay relaxed, like fast but light. Not grinding down the track. Maybe that will help...
I was a sprinter. Did this each week.
Right after the 10 x 300 day.
In fairness, what you described isn't that workout. You did 10 minutes of harder stuff and Delaware Kid did 30.
If their coach had a clue they would be able to describe the workout and purpose to their athletes in full detail.
Agreed. My favorite early-mid season mile workout (about every 3 weeks) was 16-20 x 200 at mile off 1:30 rest. Very easy but gets 4000 worth of mile volume in.
