While studying Tinman's methods I have learned a lot about where to put certain workouts (Tinman tempo pace for base building and then CV+LT reps during racing season), but there is something I still can't figure out and I was wondering if I could have some help with it?
Are the classic 20 minute Daniels' style tempo runs (threshold pace) ever useful in training and if so where? Is this supposed to be a peaking workout, is it a once every 2 or even 3 weeks workout, or is it something you want to combine with CV and the faster reps (like 4-6 x30 seconds @ 1600 race pace)? More specifically, are these 20 minute threshold workouts going to be more beneficial in the upcoming track season where I'll be racing 1600 and 3200?
Correct usage of LT pace during training
