You should be very familiar with this sort of training at this point since it makes up the bulk of the way you're training on the bike. On the run, the goal is the same - to mix in repeated short bouts of high intensity to teach your body to recover effectively while still maintaining a relatively high intensity. Workouts like this help train your body to process lactate and other metabolic byproducts that result from higher intensity efforts.
