My question is if you're looking to do this in indoor or outdoor track? I'm assuming indoor, and that goal is quite difficult but you can certainly be around that time if you are looking to be at your best in February. I would suggest that now, you focus more on strength work and hit some top end speed work. If you are working out T/F, I'd suggest making Tuesday a day where you focus on the longer strength based work with lower rest (i.e. 7-10x1k from 3:00-3:15, wherever your strength is to be able to do that with a minute rest without too having to go balls to the wall). On every other week, you could include some more mile-3k type of work after a workout like this, or a steady 20-25 min tempo where you're not crushing it, such as 4-6 400s around 62-63 with 90s-2min rest. On the Mondays beforehand, you could work on top end speed by doing work such as 5-6 40-60 meter all out sprints, or 3x150 sprints with long rest. You should focus on drills on these days, and afterwards, have a high quality lift where you are making sure you are doing some type of powerful, explosive lift with some form of squats, or cleans, or deadlifts, etc. Working on you core 2-3 times a week is incredibly helpful as well, make sure you have a strong core and upper body (not big and bulky, just strong and lean). On days like Friday for now, you could do faster, but not mile paced work, more like 3k-5k pace work. Something like 800s at 2:20 or faster with 90s rest depending on how fit you are. Or many 400s at 66-69 with 60s rest. Just do things that are hard and make you stronger. But you could do just about anything and get better, you just need to make sure you recover between sessions and do the things like lifting, core, stability and localized strength work to prevent injuries, sleep, eat, etc. Sometimes do longer hill work and sprints, 200-400 meters hard, especially a couple of months before your biggest races. In the last 6-8 weeks before your primary races you should be hitting harder track workout where sometimes you do 800 pace work, sometimes mile pace, and always keep the 3k-5k strength work in. Keep that long run at least 90 min, and at this point before racing season don't be afraid to do somewhat faster paced/steady long runs or tempos within the long run as they should always be pretty easy when you're hitting hard hard sessions. There have been tremendous jumps athletes have made, and they are not impossible. Workout hard, recover, keep your easy runs easy, do the little things, be confident that you are getting better, EVEN when you're tired (adaptations and growths are on the other side of tiredness, just recover), get in the right races, and give it your best shot. When you're ready to hit hard track sessions, hit them hard. Stuff like a hard 1k (goal mile pace) and then shorter reps like a couple 400s or 600s should give you an idea of where you are at. Good luck. Let this thread know how it goes if you do it.
