Best way to increase mile speed.

[Church]

Howdy I wanna increase my mile speed, last time it was 9 minutes which I know is slow, beside the obvious run more is there any other ways I can help myself out.

[Ender]

some people wear weights around their ankles when they train, so that when they compete they feel lighter, hence faster.

Well the problem for me is endurance, after half mile I slow down to a walk to catch breathe

Push yourself a little more, each time you run.

1. warm up (400-800m lap)
2. stretch
3. distance run/sprint workout
-distances of 4-8 miles
-sprinting 200's and 400's
*alternate between distance and sprints
4. ab workout
-crunches for 30 seconds
-oblique crunches (both sides) for 30 seconds each side
-leg lifts 30 seconds
-push ups 30 seconds
-russians 30 seconds
*repeat 3 times*
*seal for 30 seconds at the end of workout
5. stretch again

thats a pretty hardcore cross country workout, lower the lengths if you feel like you cant do it yet and work your way up
