I used to run 4 miles a day before i went civilian

if you want to improve speed - run 2 miles then do sprints (sprint 1/4 mile, jog 1/4, etc - go all out) for 2 miles. in 6 weeks you should be able to take 1-2min off your 1.5mile time.

also, those foot glove things can take a minute off, per my friends (i never used them), but they work different muscles when you run, so it takes a few days to get used to them.

I usually do 5ks in 23-30min depending on the day, nothing special, but anyone that's running twice a week can get those results within 3 months easily if they're serious.
