Easy runs build the engine
3-4 easy runs of 30-50 minutes per week. This is the aerobic foundation. Without it, threshold work plateaus and race-pace intervals feel impossibly hard.
The 1500m sits between the 800m and the mile. Training reads like an aerobic build with sharp speed on top: 30-45 miles per week, tempo and threshold work, plus weekly race-pace intervals. If you also race the 800m, blend with the 800m training plan; if you race the 5K, this is the speed end of that program.

20-40 minutes at half-marathon-to-10K pace, or 4-6 x 1000m at threshold with short rest. This is the workout that raises the ceiling on every other session.
8-12 x 400m at 1500 goal pace with 90s rest. 5 x 600 at goal pace with 2 min rest. The classic 1500m sharpening menu in the last 4-6 weeks before peak race.
The last 400m of a 1500 is where form falls apart for everyone. AI form check flags the same patterns: head back, arms crossing, knee drive collapsing. Film yourself at the bell, get the diagnosis, prescribe the workout.
