My PR is currently 16:32 but i'm trying to break sub 16 what tip of mileage should i be doing or what tip of speed work should i be doing. My current mile is 4:31 so i really don't think my speed is lacking but i'm not sure.

How old are you?
18 years old 5'9 119.
how do you "break" SUB 16? I think you mean either break 16 or run sub 16
yes how would I go about running Sub 16 minutes.

10 x 500m with a jog across the infield to start again. The total time for each repeat will give you a 5k potential.

Speed is not the problem. I don't know what your training is like but i believe that the most important thing you can do to train for the 5k are steady state runs and progressive tempo runs. If you dont do them start!
I agree, your speed is not lacking to run a sub-16... It's endurance. Sounds like you could probably benefit from some tempo runs. Don't chase <16, just let it come to you through progressing your workouts.
Intervals should help you as well, but really I think you need to start with tempos, as that will just make you more solid overall. Probably around 5:40-5:50 pace to start, and go from there to work your way down to high 5:20's. Once you get around there, you should be a lot clsoer to that 16-flat mark.
Run more.
Sub 16 should be very doable for a 4:30 miler as long as you're not running 25 miles and 5 speed workouts a week.

no no no... he's clearly trying to run 15:58.
60 miles a week
Actually 60 mile weeks should work with a tempo or two a week.
speed endurance is the key. 8x1000m or 4x2000m and some hills or steps that should get you to low 15 ish
