Well, there's two reasons, for me at least, for not doing those:
1. I plateaued at "sucky-slow" last year so I hired a coach and he doesn't have me doing those, or anyting like those, probably because I'm already a pretty good sprinter and need to work on other things, like FTP, weight, and anaerobic capacity/repeatability.
2. One mile is already utter hell.
