What kind of mile repeat workout would benefit getting down to a 10:50 two mile? All of my races have sucked this year due to injury and nervousness. What I really want to do is nail a workout to rebuild my confidence. Thanks for any advice.

You talk about running the 2-mile, but your name suggests 3200. Which is it?
In that case I don't know why you're looking for mile repeats. Gonna be hard to do those without a lot of rest. Do 5 x 1k starting at 3:25 finishing at about 3:20. 400m jog rest, take it however slow you need. If you do that you ought to break 10:50.
What's wrong with a lot of rest?
Sorry, I meant 3200m.
Do 5x1k with around 1 minute jog in between each at 5:40 mile pace and you should be good for 10:40.
Do 1 X 2 mile in 10 flat. You'll feel way faster right away.
Try this workout:
2x1200m at 3200m Race Pace (3:00 rest)
2x600 between 1600 and 3200 pace (2:00 rest)
2x200 very hard (90 sec rest)
I ran 3:30, 3:29 -- 1:38, 1:36 -- 29.0, 28.5
I ran 9:19 last week.
