This sounds like an awesome workout. I have a question though. How do you break that down? Is it a warm up, then 6 x mile with 1/2 active recovery in between?

Mr. K - I did two miles warm up then six mile repeats with 90 seconds of active recovery. Finished with two miles of cool down. That pace is about five seconds faster than what I consider my "tempo" or lactate threshold pace.

Thanks for the info! I'm going to give this workout a try, though at a bit slower pace I think.
