Paul,

I have two questions for now:

1) When you show a tempo/threshold run you say build slowly, run fast ,finish slow. I was wondering about the pace you indicate and if it was the average pace for the distance ( which it appears to be based on the time and distance) or the pace of the fast part of the run.

2)When you are doing intervals the rest time seems longer than I'm used to. Can you let me know the purpose of the longer rest, why it is better than a shorter recovery period in marathon training and what system you are working on. V02 max?

Thanks again.

Peter
