Now, you can start gunning for 19.30 5km. Even if you don't hit 19.30, the likelihood of running sub-20 is a lot higher after going through 19.30 5km training.
Now only running twice a week still. Doing more cross training (swim, indoor cycle) to maintain cardio fitness while doing more strength workouts for the calf

Can try doing single leg pogo jumps, can do left right front back and diagonally as well.
Can do unbended knees and also focus slightly more on slightly bended version if you want, bended hit Soleus a bit more, which is more impt and used for running.

Do in office, saves time. I Do in server room one so no sweat (just finished my decline push ups and mini bands 5 mins ago actually)

Not a pro / expert here, but if you are really speed performance oriented for "shorter distances", really need this last bit (strength train) to help.....as in every bit helps.

I just know that for cycling and more specifically my riding style (shorter surges etc), it really really helps.
In fact upper body and core too, really helps.

Lol. This thread there are quite a number of faster runners. 10km speedster are @WussRedXLi and @Kuudere . FM would be @zero90 ,@Skyrillex and @sph777
I smell no smoke with them. But I am happy with my progress so far since I started running, that's why can be very consistent.

sprained my right ankle exactly one week ago due to uneven road. Old injury so now taking precaution and recuperate properly before running again. Took 2 days of icing to reduce the swell. No bones injury, all tendons issue. Nothing much doctors can do now. Now daily make let my ankle write A-Z as a form of therapy and wear ankle brace when out of house.

Don't know how much mobility you have, perhaps this is a good opportunity to start a habit of cross training, like @sph777 doing now. Being a runner, I know how hard it is to change our mentality to adopt cross training. LOL.
No bone injury is good. Tendon is like muscle, can strengthened via loading. But also can injured by the same loading exercise if overuse. So need to walk and if pain level is a 1/10, a slow jog.
