Sorry, I failed to clarify.
100% means the fastest pace you can maintain for the entire run/interval.
So if you can run 2 miles in 12 minutes, run that pace. I didn't mean to imply that you should start out at a dead sprint and then collapse 1/2 mile into the run.
I am not a professional runner, so I just, well, run. I don't think your pace-style would be in issue as long as you finish in the fastest time your body will allow.
I will ask my buddy about a 'macrocycle' as I am just the poor SOB running his ass off. I know the plan has weekends off and has easy days later on with a big break at the end of the cycle, but I will have to get the particulars from him.
