haynes made it clear he wants an easy recovery run. he is smart not to challenge me on my home turf and especially not on the trails.

Yeah, its scared like damn I dont want to run a 5k vs this guy. And like wow I wish I could do a workout like that. While I don't think a workout needs to be or should be a race, it should be hard. Then go easy on the recovery days. Basically if you aren't bending over on your knees after EVERY interval then its probably fine. That and if you are dieing mid workout. Those are my indicators for doing workouts too hard.

lol hehehe :P.. sound like good indicators. i think for a hard 400s workout i might be leaning on my knees some, but that might be the exception. i'm definitely taking my easy days easy now, trying to get the most out of the recovery days.
