If I am training for a two mile run, would the total volume of each tempo run session be 2 miles?

Thanks

around 4k - what ever that turns out to be in miles?

then you can also work on longer reps in tempo too - and play with the recoverys to make it harder

2.5 miles

(message too short, blah blah blah)

You need to train like a middle distance (1500m)/5000m runner to race 2M.

Sprinters tempo runs are not the not the best way to do this. It should be a mixture of steady state continous aerobic runs and hard intervals. The balance between mileage and intensity is the classic distance running debate.
Lyddiard versus Coe methods.

But neither include tempo training of the sort you will see around here.
