Our school gym class runs a mile every other week. Im very sick and tired of finishing last. While everybody gets 7-8 minutes I get 10. How do you increase stamina and lung capacity?

I do not have any lung problems, heart conditions, or asthma...

Unfortunately, the only real way of increasing stamina and lung capacity is just to practice, practice, practice.
I have a little secret for you though. You know when you're running your hardest and your lungs feel like they're going to tear if you don't slow down? It goes away as long as you keep going. Maybe not today, but soon. I'll be cheering for you!
BTW, swimming is also very good for building strong lungs.

try running each dayconsistently slowly working your way to longer distances. While you are running, concentrate on your breathing in and out. also drink water throught the day dont just gulp it right before

practice, practice, practice
try running a half mile every day (or even every other day). as you get better, increase it to a whole mile, then more.
do you own a bike? ride it everywhere instead of taking a car.

Swimming is very good for both of those. Or persistent practice with running.
Hope I helped!!
