  • Yea I know, I was just being a little cynical. I just don't think people pay enough attention to pure anaerobic speed sets which tax the nervous system and cause the body to secrete the right hormones like HGH. I think people really ignore this later in life. I remember reading one of Bernard Lagat's workouts. It wasn't just fartlek running, but explosive, short distance repeats of 300m with good recovery. This is from a 1.5-5k runner.
