    I'm a 16 years old boy. A 22:30 5k and 5:16 1500m runner. I would like to drop my time to 20 minutes or below.

    .

    I only do one workout (intervals) per week. Currently running 20 mpw.

    How much should i increase my mileage? What should i add in my training?

    Can you give a training plan for me?

    .

    I don't have coach to train with, but i still want to run though.

    .

    This is what usual week looks like:

    6k easy

    6k easy

    10x200m @ 36-38 sec

    6k easy

    12.6k easy.

    .

    My milege is inconsistent though beacuse i have to keep up with exam and school. T_T

    no need for a coach. The information is out there in many books.

    If you have the self-discipline to work on your own and avoid the temptation of slacking off the training then you can be as successful as a runner with a coach.
