rest as needed, record the time for each sprint for total.
The above workout is much more effective and sport specific to develop Metabolic Conditioning [aka, cardio], than runs of 800m and longer, which may include side-effects of; reduced muscle mass, reduction of speed and an increase in wear-&-tear injuries.
To develop speed you must rest 3times the amount of time that the 'sprint' took to complete eg, you sprint for 10secs = you must rest for 30secs. Don't jog or run back to position.
Rugby 7s is an excellent example of a sport centred on speed that also increases an athletes cardio levels.
