Hello I’m a 800m runner my Pr is 1:59 and my fastest 5k on the track is 18:12. My fastest 8k is 31:00 after an injury. My summer mileage currently is about 40 miles per week with 2 workouts a week how can I improve to reach my goal of at least a 29min 8k I know it’s not that impressive but it’s a time I’m looking to hit. What should I focus on ?

Running
Just gradually increase your mileage and you should do weekly tempos and push moderately hard on the long runs

You didn't say what those 2 workouts are, but I'd suggest that one of them be something like 8 x 1000m in 4:00, 200 jog. This should be threshold pace for you. It should seem not hard enough, until the next day.
