I think that for running in, you should not exceed too many revs in the first 1000ks or so, and keep the revs varying as well, don't cruise at any particular speed. Apparently not over stressing/overloading the engine is also a good idea. ie - don't go up steep hills, and don't use overrun too much on downhills.
When my bro was running in his rally car, the first two hundred kays was run on pretty flat road under 3000rpm trying to vary the engine revs as much as possible, then he upped the rev limit to 3500, then to 4000 etc every 200kays until 1000 kays and then you can basically go nuts as long as you don't 'cruise' too much for the next 1000 kilometers.
Of course, I guess running an engine in is a bit of a black art, I don't know if this is good advice, but the engine hasn't blown up after one rally event so that's a start.
