How often do you run and how many miles a week do you do?
One step I would consider is to measure yourself out a mile of fairly flat running surface and time yourself and see how fast you can run it now. Do this time trail every couple of weeks or so to see how you are improving.
Best of luck.
I run 5 times a week one long run off 7-8 miles and the other 4 about 3-4 miles in a week about 19 miles I am building them up for a 1/2 marathon In late september, I also have a 10K next week and 2 5K races over the summer.
Thats a great idea about the time trial no problem as I train on a cycle track or the sea front which are mostly flat.

It depends what sort of person you are. I like my speedwork structured and measured now so I go up a track and run on distance (200s, 400s etc) rather than time (30 secs, 1 min etc).
All speedwork will make you faster to some extent so keep up the good work.
