Jog 200m for the recovery interval
Post sprint times to comments.
Coach's Notes. (standard start times of 0545, 0630, and 0700, warm up prior and be ready to "3, 2, 1...Go" at these times)
Track is preferred, but you can also use a 200m stretch on the DFAC road.
A good warmup is key for this type of workout. Light jog, plenty of dynamic stretches and running drills, and some short strides before going on the clock.
Shoot for hard, consistent splits. Your goal should be to complete all 8 sprints as quickly as possible, but within +/- 3-5 seconds. Don't fizzle out too early.

- "Sprint Warmup and Cooldown" - solid article that describes an ideal warmup/cooldown. I know you're not going to do 'em all, but provides some good ideas on some things to incorporate.
- If inclement weather keeps you from running outside, head to Gruber and do 8 x treadmill pirouettes. Just kidding, get out and run.
