endurance endurance, look it this way 1600 is a 800x2 right well take your 800 time and subtract few seconds, push yourself if you can ran a 70 - 65 second 400 you can make your time to be 5:10 meaning if you run your 800s in 2:35 you do the math but if you can run each 400s 5 seconds less then your normal, you can run 20-15 seconds less in your time
I am a professional runner

Continue your base mileage running over the winter and definitely add weight lifting to your routine - like 4 - 5 days a week. You'll be amazed what a little muscle weight will do for you as long as you stay in good cardio shape. By the way I also suggest using a running log to keep track of your training. I used to think it was pointless but it is a great motivator. I recommend www.running2win.com it's totally free and very detailed.

Intervals and splits are the answer. Start out by running 100m sprint, 100m jog, etc for 2 miles. After a few weeks move to 150/150, then to 150/100, for 3 miles. Keep adding 50 to 100 m on the sprint phase every two weeks. Good Luck!

if you have the time, take two good months of pure base training. start around a 20 mile week and increase you mileage 5 miles a week until you work yourself up to 50-60 miles a week. after running 50-60 miles per week for 2 weeks, lower your mileage to around 40 mpw. when you lower your mileage, add in two interval workouts per week to your base training. i would recommed 3 or 4 by mile workouts or 3-4 by 1200 workouts. also i would recommed that you do a lot of weight lifting. however don't only lift leg muscles, as both core muscles and arm muscles are important in running.

Okay the best answer to this is Practice. I know it;s hard just to say Im going to go running. But it truly is the only thing to do to be a faster runner. Just practice and eat a healthy diet. Like before a meet or even a big practice, stock up on pastas and such. They have tons of carbohydrates, it gives you energy. NEVER EAT SUGAR before or after a race or practice. This is will give you extremely bad cramps. Good luck :]

5:22 min mile is a very good pace. How long can you keep at this pace? Try increase your distance.
