I'm a novice runner. How do I increase my 5K time from 0.41 to 0.30? Which training plan below is better?

(A) Gradually increase current 5K training speed from 7.2 kph to 10.2 kph over a period of 6 months, or (B) up speed immediately from 7.2 kph to 8.8 kph on next 5K training run (gasp!) and maintain for 6 months interspersed with interval training once a week (gasp!!), plus an 8-10K easy run once every fortnight at 6.8 kph, or (C), just do the easy run every other day for the next 6 months, with one such run in each month incorporated with speed-recovery / hill-recovery cycles (gasp!!!). Need your good advice, brothers and sisters on the run. Thanks.

Go with C. It is getting you the mileage base, with recovery time built in, and it is getting speed %26amp; strengthening work in. You need all three. Just trying to push yourself immediately to new times in B sounds like it is going to lead to a breakdown of your body.
Reply:Don't rush yourself, you might get hurt or something...like your body might not be used to it and you might run out of breath. Take the steady pace one (A). I like to run too. =) Good luck.
Reply:i say A, because you dont want to do anything to harsh like B, i think that it would be the most affective plan
