My coach for track trains us the same for the 1600m as he does for the 5k (xc). He has us run 35-55mpw depending on how good we are. We do 4-7 tempo miles a week or 4 tempo with a tempo track workout. The closest thing we do to speedwork is 500m repeats at 1600m pace. Do I need to be doing speedwork on my own? If so what will work best? Hills, 400s, 60m sprints?
WTF is the problem?

If you have access to speed, you can tap it when the time comes with a few weeks of specific work. No need to be doing that now. If you're not talented that way, well, you need to rely on your strength anyway.
