    Hi,

    I'm 19 and only started running this past fall when I went off to college. As I've only been running for such a short time, I've focused more on the 5K than anything else. 5K PR is 19:07, which I'll admit is not great, but I'm looking to improve.

    I've gotten up to running 35 mi/wk comfortably, though it's all been easy mileage so far. I've looked into Summer of Malmo, but it seems geared toward higher-mileage runners than I. What is the best way to train over the summer to improve my 5K time?

    Thanks!

    Hey if you want you can shoot me an email, but overall the summer of malmo plan can fit for any level of runner. You can slowly progress up to whatever mileage you want. The goal is just to run while doing a couple workouts a week.
