This is a tough Fartlek workout, so take it one section at a time.
In the midst of a tough workout, I would sometimes think about going to a new event. When I finally ran my 10,000m PB, my last lap was my best 400m ever. I had been practicing going quick at the last segment in an interval workout. And, when I needed a quick last lap, I was able to call upon it.
