First thing I would suggest is contact your local aths club, many coaches and loads of experience available. Three sessions a day is not the smartest concept, esp if you are coming from a near nothing background.

I would suggest that if you can run 3000m in 10:48 then you can run much faster than 5:18 in a 1500m race.

Get down to the local track and they will be able to help lots.

yeee ino i should bee but im not to great at uping my speed the 1500m speed is usualy wat i run in the 3km i dont change my speed grately in the 3km accept near to the end i get a bit tired thanks you for the help

[Stu Mac]

I suggest you can go a lot faster. I am much older and without any real speed, my 3k time this season was 10:47 and my 1500 was 4:47.

Try some 400 reps (x6- at your 800 pace with a 40 sec recovery, not very technical, but it will get you working on your speed. Don't forget your long run and your recovery runs.
