True, but pushing yourself at different paces/distances improves different systems. (i.e. VO2max, lactate, etc.)
As for where to do intervals, you don't need a track. And you don't necessarily need to be precise -- you can run time based intervals. Or you can look at my avatar. Garmie has all the answers.

Ms. Mississippi You live in my old stomping grounds - I grew up in West Chester...
This whole running thing is something you learn from reading and talking to others. I feel strongly it is not about running fast all the time and your body will continually adjust and get faster the more you do it... Philly in November - best of luck!!!

I've got a fever...
My husband HATES running, he does his three miles and not a step further.
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.
So does he just up'n stop at the 3-mile mark of a 5k and call it quits, with only a measly 188 yards to go?
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
Was wondering where you were - hoping you didn't get injured... Welcome back and hope the vacation has you rejuvenated
