    Looking to run these times;

    1500m: 4:05

    3200: 9:18

    5000m: 15:10

    Are 10 mile "easy runs" going to do it? Also, would someone please indicate any problems or suggestions with this schedule? Pace for the recovery runs would also be much appreciated.(All strides are conducted after the run).

    Schedule:

    M: 6 miles easy (rest day)4-6 Strides. T: Workout

    W: 10 miles recovery 4-6 Strides.

    T: Workout

    F: 10 miles recovery 4-6 Strides.

    S: 10 miles at a faster pace (tempo possibly?) 4-6 Strides.

    S: Long Run. 11-12 Miles. 4-6 Strides

    What's your goal? You can't make a schedule without a goal. Specificity is important.

    For your long run days i would try to hit 13-14 miles. Also what is your pace for these long runs?

    I believe it was the first thing he mentioned... "Looking to run these times."

    Oh I thought those were his PRs. In that case, what are your PRs, because what you want to run means pretty much nothing without the context of what you can currently run.

    Actually no, I disagree with you. If those are the times he wants to run, he is simply just asking if that schedule is going to work in order to achieve it. Obviously he is going to have realistic goals if he was smart enough. It dosn't really matter what his PR's are, as they are probably not that far off.

    Well pace of your training runs and PRs are important before a yes or a no. But for training in January it is fine. The 1500 is the easiest to hit of those marks.

    This training in April and May? No.

    Like I said need some context here.

    Your 3200 goal seems out of whack, more like 9:28-30 if you're running 4:05 for 1500.

    Those runs are long enough. Once upon a day I did those times with less:

    M - 0 - 8 (depending on how tired)

    T - workout (long reps, 800s to 2 km at 5K to 10K)

    W- 8-10

    Tr - workout (fartlek fast reps, 30 sec to 2 min at 800 to 3K pace)

    F - recovery 6

    S - race or tempo

    S - 12-15 (sometimes just 8 or 9)

    I hope those 10 mile recovery days are being done as doubles. A 6/4 split would be nice.
