Runners,
This season I want to break my 1500m PB. However, I have only one possibility to do so. I know it is better to do multiple race. There are no races nearby before that race.
Is it also sufficient to do two 1500m time trials before the race? And if so, what days should I do them? 7 and 14 days before race? Or 5 and 10?

Time trials are good.
Yes, do the time trials.
1500m is short, so do them anytime that you want, 2 or 3 times a week if you want.
Do one 7 to 5 days before your race. I would do a 1200M time trial at goal pace. then run a couple 200s faster than goal pace.
If you need to do a full 1500 you better have a pacer. Very hard to do solo and will only discourage your prep.
If you really can’t find another race and feel the need to time trial, I would do it 7 and 14 days before. Get some friends out to help pace you and cheer you on, it’s going to be virtually impossible to get a good gage of your fitness trying to race a 1500m by yourself.
