Alright I don't know what to do with my life anymore. My prs are 1600 4:50, 3200 10:40, 800 2:12
I have done 10x400s at 70 pace with a 200 jog, tempos at 5:50, long runs up to ten miles and 1200s at 3:50-4:00 min pace (my weekly workouts)
Where am I going wrong

What are good speed workouts
My focus is the mile
It's pretty much impossible to figure out what exactly is the problem. Try switching something up and see how that works. You might just need either a confidence boost or simply a change in your routine. Sorry if I'm being really general, but I don't know the answer myself.
Relax. Keep everything in perspective. If you're going to do all the work in training, why not run hard for the five minutes that you get to race?
Do 3-4 strides, 100 yards long, after every daily run when you don't have a workout. Don't run all out the whole time - run them building from 50 percent effort, then consciously hit 60, 70, 80, and then 90 percent of your top speed. Hit 100 percent for twenty yards at least twice a day.
When you race, don't race to set PRs. Race to beat people you don't like. Hang onto their pace while running as relaxed as you can until 400 yards to go, no matter how slow you think they are. Hang on until 300 to go. Hang on until 200 to go. With 100 to go, do a stride. Go from 90 percent, to 95, to 100.
Become the annoying kid who sprints at the end. If you get used to winning, or just beating people, you'll run with confidence. That's what you need. That's how milers run.
