For a specific piece of advice, try moving your long run from 5 miles to 8 miles, then to 10 miles, at your 8:30 pace. Do this once a week for a month or two, and then go back and put in a 5 mile attempt at, say, 7:15 pace and see if it feels easier. The jump from 7:30 to 7 is big. Go at it in smaller increments. Run more.

Why Hill Training Improves Performance. Even if you're training for something further than a 5K, there's no doubt that hill training can contribute to better performance.. "Hills are a great tool to have in your workout toolbox for runners of any distance, from the sprints to the ultras," says Mark Hadley of Maximum Performance Coaching in Charlotte, North Carol
Kept going, every other day on the track. After a month I was run/walking 5k. After 2 months, I was doing 5k in 25 minutes. Kept at it, started sprinkling in longer runs once a week up to 10k. After 4 months I was running 21-minute 5ks. After 5 months, I ran a 43-minute 10k and a 20-minute 5k. This employs speed, strength and form. If you do these consistently over a couple months you should be able to hit that 20 minutes! TLDR: Employ one-two speed days and at least one long day with one or two easier shorter days. Aim for 20-30 miles per week (30-50km/week) and you should hit 20 minutes in a few months. 2. What is a good 5k time? A good 5k time will vary depending on your age, gender and running experience. If you’re a beginner runner (i.e. you have started running and have been running for at least a month), the average 5k time is 32 to 40 minutes. If you’re a novice runner (i.e. you have been running for at least 6 months), the average 5k 11 min/mile – 34:11. 12 min/mile – 37:17. For reference here, if you run 5 or 6 min/mile 5k, you’re a really, really fast runner! 7-8 min/mile puts you in the fast category. 9-10 min/mile is average for most runners. And the 11-12 min/mile are typically new runners. For beginners, none of these times are bad!
