You could keep one fast session (200/400 intervals etc) going. It's worth breaking 5 while it's still possible. Yes, well, 50 milers don’t need that much speed.

Even though you're not happy with the 5:14, to me it looks like you the speed for a major revision of the half PB. You could probably get the sub-5 mile with a period of 'mile training' - fast 200 reps, 400 intervals and the like. Interesting table.
