That's the one I'll be attempting once I have the endurance part taken care of.

This particular workout was done outside and the reason I have such a good handle on my pace is because of my Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS watch. I love the watch because it keeps trace of every single run I do and provides me with way more information then I could ever use for each run. If you don't have a watch like that, then the best thing to do is run at a track, or on a treadmill. Hope this helps!

I have just started trying to do some interval training also. Are you guys doing it out on the road or on the track? I am started on the treadmill so I can get a sense of the pace but I know it will be a lot harder to keep the pace outside. Was it hard to keep a consistent pace going that fast? Thanks for the advice and encouragement! Sheila Hey Mac-
