I would hate to need to defend the way I train on here:(

It should be part of any training plan for shorter distances than marathon, IMHO. What people are saying is that many people hammer out reps way too fast and don't get the physiological benefits they provide. Instead they either get complete knackered or injured, or worse, both!! Intervals should be race pace, no quicker. There are places for shorter faster paced work over say, 200m, where leg speed is the aim of the session, but if you are running intervals while targetting a 10K, then should we really be running them at 20 seconds per mile faster than your current 10K condition? My opinion is no.
