I'd be careful about adding more speed work. This is the most common workout to injure yourself in. Most people recommend only one of these workouts per week. I'd almost be concerned you're doing too MUCH speed work with 2-3 tempo runs plus a track session. From what I read on here, I'm guessing that most people push themselves too hard every workout and would probably improve their performance if they would substitute a few recovery workouts.
