I don't train with tables, rather I do max attempts maybe twice a week or less. At first, like Jonta, it was easy to rise through the static timings. From my initial 45secs best, I attained 3.30 in 2 weeks, followed by a 30sec increase in each of the next 2 weeks, until I hit 4.30. From there on, my progress kinda halted. For maybe a month, my best time was a 4.45, with a 4 min average. Just last Sunday, I did my first 5min.

What I guess I am trying to say is, with proper practice, maybe with tables, I am sure you'll hit your 5 min static in no time. I have read your story about your Hawaii trip, and I believe you are capable of a 5. So, keep practicing.
