Well David. To get the very best workouts for you just alternate with maxVO2 12-20 X 400 m at your 5 k race pace and another day you can run 6-8 x mile at your lactate threshold pace ,and rest easy walking back to heartrate 120 bpm . Try this and you will feel your best interval feeling ever. Good luck! :)

Look dude. You want help? What's your average week look like man? Look back at your stuff and give a comprehensive look at what you are doing. I was a fat kid bigtime and I have no genetic disposition to distance running yet I progressed much faster than you apparently. Not exaggerating when I say that I have more than 100 aunts/uncles and cousins and not a single one has ever even raced any distance (my family is made of foreign peasant farmers). So why are you stuck at wondering about what the average person can do? The average self identified runner logs less than 5 miles per week man! RUN MORE. When that doesn't work then you have a problem worth discussing here. There is no such thing as non responders.

Yeah cool my BMI is almost under 40 and I run a sub 17 5k.
To run your workouts too fast, first you have to be fast.

I can run 800 meters in 3:02 minutes. I tried to do a 3 x 1 mile workout yesterday at 7:30 minutes with 1:30 minutes rest in between each interval, and I couldn't do half of the workout without passing out. Is the workout too difficult for my current physical fitness?
David, take forever rest after your intervals. Just walk off the track and don't come back. That should give you enough time to catch your breath and also rethink your decisions.

Rethink what? I should stop running?

This is JS at his best. Athlete only runs 15 mpw TOTAL and this clown coach instructs him to do 5 miles at 5k pace and 8 miles at LT pace. That leave a total of 2 miles per week for warmup, cool down, recvery, and long run. Classic.

Wait, what? Right here is your prob, Dave. You are by all measures overweight. Get your BMI down to 23 and we will talk about running. Until then, STOP EATING CRAP!

You missed that 54 for a 45? Dave45 has said many times he's 6' 150, so skinny and a BMI of 20.
Is being 6'0'' and 150 Ib overweight?

It was a rhetorical question
I just want to jump in here and say real quick that this is (one of) the stupidest threads on Lets Run.

I don't think you're running your workouts too fast. I think the issue might be that the breaks between intervals isn't long enough. When my team does mile repeats, the break between repeats is ~2/3 of our mile times. So for example if someone runs one of their repeats in 9 minutes, then their break is 6 minutes before the next mile. Since you're doing your repeats in 7:30, I would suggest having your break be about 5 minutes between repeats.
What other workouts have you done lately? If you're not used to longer workouts like mile repeats, it's going to feel terrible no matter what. You have to build up to longer workouts over time, not just randomly jump into them.
I second this. I’m a 5:00 miler and i do 3x1 mile with 3:30 rest in 5:50-6:00 no problem (well it’s hard but u get the point)
Make the rest 1:30, i bet i could do it. I’d also be passing out tho.
I’d try 3:30 -4:00 rest next time. That’s more than double ur current rest

Why can't anyone answer my question seriously? For those of you can't read, is being 6'10" and 250lb overweight?
There's plenty of actual serious advice in here, you just choose not to read them
