Answer 1

Ummm my fastest mile was 6 minutes flat and right before i did it i drank a Red Bull.  I don't know if it was that but you can never push too hard.  As long as you keep running and focus you can run at least 5 minles easily.  If you know someone is faster than you keep up with them and don't let yourself say you can't because ANYTHING is posible in sports.  

Answer 2

You need to keep yourself at a steady rate, if you don't then you will just die gasping, you really need to work on your endurance. I finished mile in 11 minutes so i wont make fun of you.

Answer 3

You need to train for distance and the speed will come.  Consistency is the key.  You have to train for it, simple as.  You're probably just a bit out of shape. Put the hours in and it'll come back.  Get some longer runs in to build your endurance base.
