How way to run a faster 1000m

What are your interval workouts like? You won't be able to break 2:30 on tempos alone. And what do you do your tempos in?

You clearly have the speed for it with that 52, but your times trail off after that 800, so you just need to work on your speed endurance.

I would suggest doing good mile workouts like:

10-12x400 at mile pace

12-16x200 in 30 one week, 29 2 weeks later, 28 2 weeks after that

maybe a cutdown like 1000-800-600-2x400-4x200 pace starting slower than mile pace (4:30-32?) and working down to 62ish for the 400 and 29-30 for the 200s.

Hi,

I am trying to run 1k under 2:30. Anyone have any suggestions or strategy and pacing for running a faster 1k.

I am more of a distance runner, I am doing about 60-90 miles per week with 1-3 tempo runs.

I have run the 1k few times last indoor season, but I have never been able to beat my pb.

I have tried even splitting and going all out in some races but never seemed to gain success.

My PBs are as follow: 400=52, 800=2:00, 1k=2:38, 1500=4:05, mile=4:25.

Anything will be appreciated!
