Okay so I got back from my heart issue and I had 3 days to train. After that I ran the 3 mile distance and sort of went easy to not hurt myself. I got 21:01 if that matters. Okay, so I was just wondering because now I have 2 days in between now and the next race and I was wondering if that was enough time to actually improve or to just do 2 easy running days.

Atrial Fibrillation it's no big deal i have a heart monitor now
Youre really not going to see any gains in two days of training, just rest up for the upcoming race. Maybe do some sprints to get your legs moving but mostly just chill
day 1: easy run
day 2: shorter easy run, 4x150

No, I've heard and believe it take 2 weeks to get any performance improvement from a workout other than a rest/recovery.

That’s for all the gains. Smaller gains happen overnight.
gains come from recovery. The day after a workout performance is degraded due to fatigue.

Sometimes you feel better and run faster.
5x18 is the ultimate predictor workout!
