Since everyone is providing such good mile workouts does anyone have any ideas for the 3000m and 5000m. I am looking to have a good mile/3000m indoor season this next year.

What's your coach have in mind?
I don't have one; I'm a graduate student coaching myself and that's why I'm so interested in people's opinions on workouts.
Great 3km workout and prediction for 2 mile
600hard, 400 float at 85-90, 600 hard, float 800 at 85-90, 600 hard
Time each section and the entire 3000. The time you hit here will be equal to your current two mile level. Great workout when pressed for time. 10 minute warm-up 10 min warm-down and the workout give you an entire session in just 30 minutes.
Play with 2 x 3000 with an 800 shuffle between.
I have a number of variations on this that I have used and my athletes swear by it.
5x2000 at 95% 3000m race pace, 90 sec. recovery
(very intense)
or
6x1600 at 5k race pace, 90 sec. recovery
(medium intensity)
or
12x800 at 3k race pace, 60 sec. recovery
(not very intense)
low standards=losers
high standards=winners
I can't imagine completing any of these workouts. If you can do 6 by 1600m at a given pace, is that really likely to be your 5000m pace?

Not a chance in hell. Frank Horwill used to say that 4x1600 with 90 rest is a good predictor of your 5000 m pace.
Depending on the time of the intervals, my 3km workout has been used by athletes from 14:00 2 milers thru National record holders. I don't see why you couldn't do it, regardless of ability.\
