How cool would it be to run under 5:00? That would be awesome, but the suffering that would be required just doesn't seem worth it.
It's just tempo and interval training.

I would have to eliminate other stuff, but with a rotation of 200s, 400s, 800, 1200s, and 1600s, I could get you down there.


It's just holding the first 400 near 72, not letting off on the second, pushing hard on the third without letting legs lose cadence and then smashing the last one.

I could easily train you to reach it. I bet if you let me train you I could get you near 4:30.

Leg turn over is the key. If you run with power rather than cadence it's tougher.
