How do I do it?

Answer 1

Train harder basically. I recommend 4X400s at 1:20 each. Also try running your mile like you would a 800. Sometimes the endurance is there were just not willing to go the extra step.

Answer 2

run faster

Answer 3

ok my last answer was a bout to go to sleep answer...but seriously you should do longer dstance training..if you ran 2 miles everyday for a week you should be able to lose 10 secs off that time..do the same thing the week after that and thats about 20 secs right there.........when i was in middle school my fastest time was 6:04 until the city championships..and i seen this one guy go out real fast..i decided that i was gonna run with him..i was hurting the whole race....yes he beat me but i got a new best time of 5:12..i have faster than that now btw
