Stu, I haven't tried this, but I like the idea. I've been alternating my runs, so one day I'll do distance (which for me is about 5 miles), then the next I'll do intervals. I'll push as hard as I can for half a mile, then cool it back to a 10min pace until I don't feel like I'm going to die, then I sprint for another half a mile, then slow ... It usually hurts pretty good.
But I'll shift over to a more formalized "sprint for 8 intervals of 20/10" and see what it does. I'll report back in 6 weeks.
