    My goal for the end of the summer, by indoor is to run sub 14 in the 5k.

    This might be a stretch considering my PR is only 14:56, but anything is possible right? This summer I have a laid back easy job, that will allow me to train any time I want.

    Yes. Anytime.

    I have been running constantly in the 70s mpw, but this summer I want to make a big improvement.

    What is it going to take?

    What is my summer going to have to look like in order to cut 57 seconds off of my 5k?

    I am all in and I will do whatever that take. I need some advice though, other than just run a lot of miles.

    What is your other PR's like? Are you fast enough (relatively good mile)? Are you strong enough (better 10k)? Find your weakness and work on that as much as you can without neglecting other stuff and getting injured. It might be a long time before you are fit enough to make a legit run at sub 14 so keep the training level pretty high until it is time to take a shot at it.
