To clarify, do the longish progression run and the 1k´s session on different days (but not back to back).

So hit the weights?
Finnish your easy runs with 6x150 with 250 recovery. This will get you Sharp and keep you Sharp year round.

If you're worried about your speed, do 6x100m fast strides after a couple easy runs a week.
This^. Other than that, listen to your coach. He's building up your strength. Worry about speed later.

My coach for track trains us the same for the 1600m as he does for the 5k (xc). He has us run 35-55mpw depending on how good we are. We do 4-7 tempo miles a week or 4 tempo with a tempo track workout. The closest thing we do to speedwork is 500m repeats at 1600m pace. Do I need to be doing speedwork on my own? If so what will work best? Hills, 400s, 60m sprints?
WTF is the problem?
It is February.
If you have access to speed, you can tap it when the time comes with a few weeks of specific work. No need to be doing that now. If you're not talented that way, well, you need to rely on your strength anyway.
I think you guys got trolled. This person has turned article on the north shore girls on it's head.
Nope I only troll once in awhile.
