Forums >General Running>Interval Workouts
I prefer to do more of stamina building interval workouts. These are repeats of 1k to 1 mile done at slower than 5k race pace (~10k race pace). Rest is only a 200M jog (2 minutes or under) so you can't run them too fast or you'll be in trouble quickly. The old standby of 3 * 1 mile at as fast as you can handle with 4-5 minutes rest tends to wipe me out and I'm not even sure you benefit from them compared to the "slower" intervals. btw, I believe these are what internet coach/guru Tinman refers to as CV workouts.

That was a long ago, simpler time. When the world was black and white with few shades of gray, when I was a simple farmer boy from a desert planet and Mikey was a darkly helmeted evil Sith lord.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
