I should take some time here to explain the terms used by Jack Daniels.
.

Easy is a pace you can hold for a long time, you should be able to carry a conversation with
a running partner without too much effort.

Treshold is a pace which you can hold for about an hour in a race situation. It is "comfortably
hard".

Intervals are hard. They should be at the pace you can hold for a couple of miles.

Repetition pace is fast but not hard (due to more rest between workbouts). It is somewhere
in between Interval pace and Sprinting.

Strides are shorter bursts of speed at about repetition pace with full recovery between.
