    I am 14 years of age, and I am struggling to see improvement in 800m, 1500m and 3k. For these distances, my goals are: 800m; 2:20 1500m; 4:35 3km; 10:00. I know I have the capability to run these but my PB's are only: 800m: 2:29, 1500m: 4:49, 3km: 10:24. Here is what a typical week would look like for me(this is1500m specific):

    Monday: 3 x 1600 slightly slower than 1500 race pace (for some reason I struggle with this one).

    Tuesday: Easy jog 6km.

    Wednesday: 4 x 600 at 1500 race pace.

    Thursday: Easy jog 6km.

    Friday:6 x 300 slightly faster than 1500 race pace.

    Saturday: Easy 6km.

    Sunday: Rest.

    Also, how would I train for all three events simultaneously?

    You're 14? Okay, here's how to hit those times:

    Go to bed a half-hour earlier than you're used to, and get away from screens (computer, TV, phone) a half-hour before that.

    I agree with this. The old coach's cliche: One year of growth equals two years of coaching. Give yourself a chance to grow, which happens (almost entirely) while you sleep.
