Hi, looking for advice from someone ideally with coaching experience.
I haven't broken 17mins for 5k but came very close. And I'm riding the border of 17mins awhile now.
My question is: would the training session below be good/poor/unable to tell how likely I am to dip under 17mins.
Session:
3.3km 11mins (5min rest)
1.8km 6mins3sec (2.5min rest)
1.2km 4mins2sec (1.25min rest)
1km 3mins24sec (2mins rest)
5x 300m 1min (45sec rests)
1x 600m 2min4sec
Much appreciated.

I’d be pretty surprised if you couldn’t break it after that session. Even if the session only had the 3.3k and 1.8k I’d say it’s enough. Maybe you’re over training and not racing well?
Thanks for the advice, I'll keep an eye out for overreaching.
Thats a strange workout, never heard of someone doing a 3300 or an 1800
Yea, it's quite uncommon. I used a 300m track
And racing wise, I'm trying a few strategies, going out a little harder also trying even paced next week following a pacer... that could be it
