Thanks Runnercoug. Looks like a nice approach. I have run lots of intervals back in high school but I think my high school track coach was interval crazy. Our interval volume and frequency I think were quite high so I was at a loss for the appropriate volume for here. I suspect the volume and frequency was too high for me back in the day because every year I ran my times would start to increase after about 1/3 to 1/2 of the season was over.
