...merits of that progression are, of course, questionable. Depeche Mode walks a thin line between being innovative and inane. Sometimes, the synthesized noises sound untempered.

Aim for these splits: 4:44 for the first mile, 5:44 for the second mile, 2:12 for the next half-mile, then 11 minutes of the infamous "fartlek": 1 min. full-out, 1 min. jogging, 1 min. full-out, etc., for 12 minutes. Then for the final cool-down, another half-mile at a 2:12 pace. And if that's not enough, team members can always count on Coach Haggerty's 13 mile Saturday morning distance...
