Best Mileage 6-8 week mileage build up for 800/1500

Bump

800s at low to mid 2:30s with a minute rest. Up to 10 of them. Focus on floating through them as smoothly as possible. You might not be able to do very many at first, but stick with it.

On another day, spend quality time on neuromuscular development. 200s to 400s at mile race pace.

You can probably throw a solid progression run in there.

I don't know if bulk mileage is the thing for you. Mid distance aerobic power training can be drastically different than that of a 10k type

So could you give me an example of a week?

Like what about 6-8mile steady runs?

Should I do 5 miles worth of thone 800s everyday besides the speed maintenance day?

My 2 cents. If you want to get better aerobically, you need:

1) a long run of 90 minutes, with the last 20-30min comfortably hard.

2) a 3-5 mile tempo run

weekly.

And how low is "low mileage"?

I think you are better aerobically than you may believe, you just need to train to bring it out. The pure 400/800 guys I ran with in college (running 1:49-1:53) struggled to run 28:30-30:00 for 8k XC and sub 4:05 for 1500. You are way better than that already.

Your 800 time will drop too as long as you do strides to maintain basic speed.
