There are snippets of conversation, scant words regarding times and of qualitative feelings like smooth but for the most part it is a mute experience. Around thirty seconds a bout with less than a minute rest and a few bouts just over a minute with two minutes following. All in all the volume is 3600 meters hard. A tough work out but not so intense as to fully mimic the critical zone, or last 25%, of a race so there is room for comfortable conversation. Due to the staggered starts and different paces only a third of the total hard running with subsequent recovery time is spent talking. It is a nice feeling how calmly the mind wanders, with no conversation to guide it down a specific path, while the body is churning at just sub par all-out intensities. The body’s tired state can sometimes hamper but rarely truly cage the free flying bird which is the mind.
