Greg, how are you? Kidding me, vtt. Or past? And with your Fitness, which I'm pretty sure you still keep somewhere. Inside you you should be breaking five-minute mile any time in the morning in the evening during the night. So if you were feeling unfit right now, which I don't believe just you know, lose a few pounds, do one longer run some shorter intervals and especially 100. My 100 meter repeats for better running economy and use use the carbon Racing shoes and you are running sub. Five-minute Mile in a few weeks. A good luck. Let me know.

Greg, it is awesome that you keep putting lofty goals out there. If you want to break five minutes in the mile, start off by adding some sprints at the end of easy days once a week. Then, every other week, try this workout, eight times 474 seconds with one minute recovery. As soon as you can do this, you can reach your goal. Good luck.
