Interval Training for Runners
The following link has a good pyramid interval training schedule:
Cardio Activities in Men's health
Note: From the book "Cross Training Ultimate Fitness" I found the following information:
Runners can use intervals to work on speed without exhausting themselves. A four minute run is impossible for most people, but you can alternate running at this speed for 15 seconds at a time, with 30-second rest periods afer each sprint. If you train this way for a total of 11 minutes and 30 seconds, you will accomplish the equvalent of a four-minute mile.

Note: Paying especially close attention to breathing. Trying to breath slowly, and breath in through my nose and out through my mouth. I'm doing occasional exercises: breath in for two breaths, purse lips breath out three breaths.
