Since you don't control the type of workouts you do in the morning, you don't have too many options. I'd say - as a criticism of those workouts - that they should probably all incorporate more volume. The shortest workout we do is at least two miles of quality.

You're running enough workouts. Maybe not the exact same way that I would do them, but if you're improving, that's a solid start. Just put in more mileage. I think 70 is probably the minimum I'm going to be needing to hit my goals this year (4:13 in the mile or faster). Your relative 5k endurance isn't great for the time you're aiming for - nor is your 800m blistering - so both have to come down. If you're a better mid-distance guy, you could maybe get by with a 1:57 to break 4. If you're more of a strength runner you might have to crack 15:15 or even 15:00.
