Answer 1

I run 5 mi MWF and T/TH I do strength training in the am and interval training on the treadmill in the pm. I do about 20-25 mins of interval training. You don't need a lot cus you are sprinting.

I warm up for 5 mins at a steady jog, then I start out by running 100% sprint for one min then back to jogging for 1:30. And sprint again. I do this for a continuous 20 min or about 2-3 miles.

If you want to incorporate your sprints in your distance runs, I would sprint for one minute and then jog for 1-2mins after. Do this the last 3 miles.

Hope this helps.
