So....... cruise intervals are a type of tempo run? Would I be better served using that method than a standard tempo run? Perhaps alternate tempo runs and cruise intervals? What pacing do you use?

It’s a way to get a feel for your race pace so they’re faster than a tempo run. It’s all about dialing in and staying consistent while running very quickly. You’d usually only do them the week of a race.

You can do a similar workout the week prior to your race as Burt suggested. For a 5k it would be 3 x 1-mile at goal race pace with 1-minute jogging recoveries. For a 10k, you would do 6 repeaters at 10k pace. Generally, of you are able to complete those workouts without much trouble, you know your target pace is realistic.
