I’m curious wether there are ways to properly train for both events. I’m shooting for a 4:15 1500m and a 15:45 5k. I currently have a 4:44 mile and a 16:12 5k pb. I did a workout today that was one mile at 5k, 2x400 at mile, 800 at 5k, 2x300 at 800, and 600 at 3k. Would this a workout that could partially accomplish this? I’m curious about what you think.
That's an interesting approach, although I think focusing speedwork on your 1500m goal makes the most sense and run tempo runs to get ready for the 5k. I would also run at least one workout of some km repeats at 5k goal pace to get dialed in before that race.
Yes there is.
You're welcome.
Norwegian/ingebrigtsen training is that method. So Threshold training (tuesday/thursday), hills on saturday (where you run fast, so your lactate will be a lot higher than threshold). Run a big volume. Some 60-200m strides/sprints on easy days. Do some strength training at least once a week.

Well, of course combining 1500/ 5000m is doable in a perfect way. But I don't recommend to do workouts mostly like that you did with different paces in it . Every workout should have a special purpose e.g working out your 5 k pace / 800m/1500m/ 3000m pace just in separated workout days.Good luck! 🇸🇪🧙🏼♂️🇸🇪
Was this workout more speed based and thus more 1500m focused in your eyes?
