I did alot of interval training during January and February, but didn't have the time to devote to it during March, so I'm kinda starting from scratch again.
There's a little background for ya. Now here's my question- being that I have two weeks, is my time better spent on the road or on my trainer doing interval training? Which would be more effective in this crunch period? FYI- I'm talking purely about strength and speed here. Road skills, etc. aside.
From my days of coaching runners, interval training was the quickest way to the quickest fitness and results. It sounds like you have adequate base to handle it. I would do two sessions this week, and one next week and taper into the race.
