    Not only do i have to be able to run the 1.5miles,

    OK you used run 1.5 miles in 10:13 four weeks ago and now you can't complete 1.5 miles at all in one go?

    10.13 is a pretty good time. I can't see how you lost your fitness so completely in 4 weeks unless you've spent the whole time in bed.

    Anyway to me your programme looks pretty good though if you can't run 1.5 miles I'm not sure how you're going to complete 2.5 miles as you intend.

    I'm not sure where the 9:00 target fits into all this? This is more serious running and I think you'll probably need 3-4 months to get there.
