Northern Phoenix Jul 2012 11:03pm, 31 Jul 2012 1,018 posts	0 Northern Phoenix My plan is to go back to build stronger endurance base for a couple of months then back to two interval sessions a week for 4/6 weeks
Callum Bampton Aug 2012 11:22am, 2 Aug 2012 First-time poster!!	0 Callum Bampton One of the best runs whch I believe is a requirement to adopt in your programme is the 5 mile aerobic threshold run. Last year, I just about scraped the sub 18 (17:46) and was runnng 4x 1000m at 3:10 pace and 8x 400m at 71 seconds. These sessions I believe were ideal in order to gain a decent time in the 5k distance.

Gobi Aug 2012 12:08pm, 2 Aug 2012 48,166 posts	0 Gobi doing km reps at 3.10 pace I expect you to run sub 17 pretty quickly, when I was running 3.10km reps off 60 I was running low 16s for 5km.
Northern Phoenix Aug 2012 12:26pm, 2 Aug 2012 1,022 posts	0 Northern Phoenix currently running 5 on a slightly hilly course in 34ish 2 of my interval sessions are 16x400s and 6x1200s, doing 400s in about 80 at mo
Windsor Wool Aug 2012 12:33pm, 2 Aug 2012 913 posts	0 Windsor Wool desperate for this one too although it may be over for another year as the 5k season comes to an end and attention turns back to longer distances
