First and foremost, no matter what distance you plan on doing in whatever time, you need to remember that if running is your love, strength training is your mother-in-law. You need to keep it happy to run optimally and without (minimal) getting injured.

Second, to run fast as you can, you need to slow down. Don't be in a rush, make your running effortless. Don't try too hard. For that, to start with, don't focus on distance or speed, only time on feet.

Third, I want you to not take breathing for granted. Start with mindful breathing.
