Interesting. At what pace are you supposed to run the 400s?

Personally, I tend to do my 400's at between 5K - 10K pace ... So, approx. 1:20 - 1:35 range ... though, for marathon specific training, I think they are recommending about 45 seconds per km faster than m-p or, just go to the McMillan Running - Calculator link .. https://www.mcmillanrunning.com/index.php/calcUsage/calculate
I am probably doing something wrong, but I tend to do my speedwork at my 5K goal pace effort vs marathon goal pace effort ... so, likely not developing the proper training effect for the longer endurance vs shorter distance physio gains / benefits development ????
