Improving at running?

Since you have just started you should be dropping minutes off that easily after a few months,I have been running for about 3 months now and have gone from struggling with 1.5 miles to running it in 9.40! (British army running test distance) as with most things you put in the effort and you will reap the rewards, just keep on pushing the pace even if its just for the last half mile and your times will come down.
