I have been putting this together and trying to make something out for a while. I am going to run at least a 4:08 1500 this year. I am on the off season since we don't have an indoor track season and am on 70 mpw and plan to keep it until march(we start training in january.) I am good at speedy stuff I have a 52 400 which I only started running the 4 on occasions last track season and from the 3 800's I ever did I ran a 2:01 best but it will be better. I have a 4:18 1500 and I have a 16:20 5k(xc)how should the training be broken up from january to may with mileage and all to be sure I run a 4:08 or better.

Whatever you did to get to 4:18 will eventually get you to 4:08

Getting to the 4:18 wont work because both me and my coach agreed it was horrid training and I don't know why he had me do it, I did 200 all season a bunch but not as much as the 200 400s a few 600s and the only time I went higher than 600 was during the one ladder workout going up to 1200

Who cares if it was horrid???? It obviously worked so why would you stop doing it? You don't have to do intervals higher than 600 to be successful at the 1500. Again, it got you to 4:18, so why would you change it?
