Speed training
If you're feeling masochistic, try this pyramid I came up with yesterday. You do speed sets of 30s, 1m, 2m, 3m, 3m, 2m, 1m, 30s. On the way up the pyramid you take as much rest (jogging) as you've just run. On the way down you take as much rest as you're about to run. Throw in 10mins warm up and cool down at either end and you've got a good 43 minute session.If you're not feeling masochistic, I came up with another (probably non-novel) idea, whilst doing the stupid pyramid scheme: - it seems like speed training would be more fun if it were more like speed dating. Perhaps you would warm up, go and look at some training for a minute, and then decide it wasn't for you. Repeat 5 or so times and then go to the pub.

About 50% of those participating would probably take an alternative approach:
1) Spend the day before speed-training having their hair done.
2) Before leaving, trying on at least four different combinations of running-shorts, singlets and sweat-bands, finally binning all of them in favour of a pair of flourescent violet lycra leggings that match their socks
3) Turn up for speed-training feeling sick and nervous. Throw themselves into the exercises as if their life depended on it.
4) Spend the next two weeks worrying about what happened at speed training, obsessing about it unhealthily with their friends over several bottles of white, before binning the idea of any more speed-training entirely and booking a week's running holiday in Spain
