Best Answer

A combination of sprint work and long distance runs, focusing mostly on long distance. The mile is a 70-30 race: it is around 70% aerobic (or run with oxygen) and 30% anaerobic (without oxygen), which means that aerobic workouts (ones that allow you to talk while doing them) are going to benefit you the most. However, you still need to be able to muster up some sprinter speed in the last 400 meters of the race, so you'll need to do some hard intervals near your maximum heart rate. It should take you a while to catch your breath after doing a sprint workout. Also, I would do some light strength-training and do some cross-training as well to keep the rest of your body sharp and primed for competition: a runner needs to be strong all-around, or he won't be able to keep his form late in the race.
