However, fartlek and tempo training already serve this function quite nicely, I'd leave it for that and just run the 8x800 (or whatever) as written. | |
| Oct 20, 2016 at 0:34 | comment | added | Jason | I'm wondering if sprinting part of a 800m interval as part of 8x800m is a proper part of doing this type of speed work. Sorry, my question title wasn't clear and I'm probably misusing the term speed work, but I edited it. | |
