Gobi, how do you approach your base training period? Same sort of mileage but all at easy pace? Any sort of variety to the sessions?

I'd rather not discuss it fully on line but
As a rule I do no running over 75% at all for quite a period infact rarely over 65%
I run in Zone 1 and 2 most of the time with Zone 3 - 5 beats (sub 75%) reserved as a rule for hills on my runs.
I do no running over 12 miles until January when I start building distance
I do no races outside of parkruns or XC in December

Hey all!
This isn’t exactly a heart rate monitor question but is related to the John L. Parker Jnr book ‘Heart Monitor Training for the Compleat Idiot’. Despite the title I’ve managed to find something in it that I’m struggling with. Thought I’d try here.
In the Workout Notations he describes ‘striders’ as 100 meter repeats at near sprint speed, but under control and with good running form. Always start easily and build up speed for 20 meters, run fast but controlled for 60 meters, then coast to a jog for 20 meters. Striders are usually run hard/easy, ie. 100 meters hard, then 100 meters at a jog to recover. This I understand.
But when mentioned in the various training programs it has ½ mile striders and 1 mile striders. An example from a typical program includes the following:
1 Mile jog <65%
1 Mile striders;
6 X 400m @ 85-90%
w/ 200m jog recovery;
1 Mile jog <65% Total 5 Miles.
Just not sure how I should go about running a 1 Mile strider. Sorry if I’m missing the obvious and sorry for clogging up this thread with such a long message but if anybody can help this ‘Compleat Idiot’ then I would really appreciate it. Please feel free to fmail me rather than take up more space on here or reply to a thread I started earlier today ‘Have you read John L Parkers HRM book?’
Cheers!

MPG you can't use the 'less than' symbol - it breaks the text
