My wife wants to get faster for a 5k at the beginning of August. She has a pretty good training base. Not huge miles but about 20 miles a week for the past two years. Very consistent. She also swims at least one day a week.

Today she did a treadmill 5k in 28 flat. She said she ran hard but not maximal effort. She has never done any speed work. Any suggestions in terms of some interval work to help her bring here 5k time down? distances? reps? speed relative to her current 5k pace?
