Runners what does your interval session look like?
I've been doing 8 x 400 m, where 4 are fast and 4 are slow. I think this has helped me cut 6 minutes of my 6K time this year (if only because it shows me I can go faster, even for only small periods). But I'm not sure I'm doing it right. I train for 9 - 12 k runs (6 - 7.5 miles). What do your interval sessions look like?

Re: Runners what does your interval session look like?
lately I've been doing I do 2 min hard, 1 min easy for about 20-25 minutes.
if I were you I'd decrease the rest to 100-200 m.
also, as an FYI if you are following a training program or something and the workout is 8x400 that means you are supposed to do 8 fast reps. the recovery doesn't count towards the total interval count.
The answer is it depends. I just finished training for a half so I was doing longer intervals (1600s).
Here are some variations that I do:
200s, 400s, 800s, 1600s, ladders(400-1600-400)
I also change up the time I rest inbetween intervals or jog instead of totally resting. Another good workout is 10-12 400s at a slower pace than you would normally finish them in, but only rest 90 sec.
As ebeth said I don't count a recovery jog as an interval.
