interspaced
Set at intervals
Interspaced means placed at intervals among other things, with gaps or spaces between.
Plants may be interspaced with stones in a garden; chapters interspaced with illustrations.
The word emphasizes deliberate distribution rather than random scattering: Rest periods were interspaced throughout the training session.
