want a faster 5k? stop only running 5ks
400m reps sit right at or just above 5k pace, and the short recoveries let you stack far more time at that intensity than a continuous run ever could
that’s how you build tolerance for the effort that gets you your time
the session: building up to 8-12 x 400m at 5k pace or a touch quicker, 60-90 sec easy jog between
add a rep or trim the rest each week and your 5k pace stops feeling like a sprint to survive
