I have already talked about being slow, not improving, and being prone to injury in the past. People told me I wasn't running hard enough, so I ran harder and ended up getting injured. Am I not fit enough to run now or what?

+1
But only one post each day.
You only have average talent for running so if you want to break 5 minutes for the mile you will have to do it off decent mileage. I needed a consistent 60/week incl two hard sessions and a long run to break 5. Off 30/week I could only run 5:20. Work out a progressive plan to get to 60/week after 5 years. Then you might break 5 in the right race.
+1 for C25K
Won’t improve if you can’t run
What are your PRs? How long have you been running?

There's your problem. If you are listening to them, then they have an idiot for a client.
How old are you?
How long have you been running?
What are your PR's, especially 200, 400 and 800?
What is a typical week for you?
Can you send me a copy of your training log?
Let's start at step one. Is that OK for you?

Malmo, thanks for volunteering to help. Opinion is split on whether david45 is really just an idiot kid or a fake persona. I think he's real, at least partly because I can't imagine anyone enjoying the process of playing that role.
I'd like to politely request that this thread becomes the sole "david45 training" thead, which is certainly within your power to make happen.
Why did my response suggesting he get a new username get deleted?
That is objectively the best advice he could possibly get if he actually wants to be taken seriously or get real help.

How old are you? 19
How long have you been running? Almost 2 years
What are your PR's, especially 200, 400 and 800? My PR for 200m is 35 seconds, 400m is 90 seconds, and 800 is 3:30 minutes.
What is a typical week for you? Currently I am recovering from PF, but my normal week consists of 5 days and running at a hardish pace for 40 minutes.
Can you send me a copy of your training log? I don't have one

Have you worked with a physical therapist to figure out your underlying issues that lead to your injuries? A PT can help you with mechanics, strength work, shoe selection, etc.
Height?
Weight?
Height: 6'0''
Weight: 150 Ib
This is why you need a log.
Last few thread you were telling us how you were doing 20 minutes at 12 minute miles pace 5 days a week.
Now it's 40 minutes at a hard-ish effort.
If you can't give a true/accurate statement on what you were doing, it becomes harder for people to give you help.

No. I don't think it is a physical therapy problem. The issue is that my body is not adapting to the training. A 10 minute mile pace for me is moderate to heavy in effort.

Given your mile time, 10 is close to the upper end of your "easy" zone.
That being said, slogging around at 12 minute/mile for 20 minutes a day isn't going to give you any stimulus or gains to improve - I'm going to go off what you said you were using in different threads, not what you told malmo here - it's lacking in duration and intensity.
IMO at your level (no more I've been running for 2 years stuff - please accept and admit that you haven't been consistently running for 2 years, it's been intermittent and you take time off quite frequently) I would ditch the watch, not even think about heart rate/pace and just go out and enjoy a run however many times during a week (numerous people have told you this, but you dismiss it).

The issue is if I do run at a pace that is low effort, it will end up being the equivalent of 12 minute/mile, which won't stimulate my body.
Why are people seriously biting on this? Malmo, really? come on dude. {delete thread}
There are 20 others just like this and you take it like its legit?
I think david45 is a real person.
