RE: 3x100 + 10x400

That is a very interesting session you just had!

If I compare the 400m with your 10k pace I notice your pace here was a bit faster - so I expect this to be closer to your VO2Max range. The rest between sets is a little short for vo2max sets (guideline 100 - 150% of the time you take for a set , +/- 120 - 150 sec would be optimal), BUT despite the short rest - you maintained strong over the 10 sets. So, I wonder if 4:00 / km interval pace is already doable if you take a little longer rest in between.

Another interesting observation is that the last stride is in same range as the first interval. Strides are about activation, the intervals provide the benefit - more rest between the stride and the start of interval could be beneficial. I usually incorporate my strides like this (warmup zone 1/2, strides + recovery, warmup zone 1/2, main training) that way you start your main training fresh

For example my setup for tomorrow: between 15 sec strides I take 60 - 90 sec rest, between strides and main training 3 min

Furthermore, this session would suggest your 10k time will soon be bested :)

Great work!
