If you want to improve your running pace, you need to with a focus, a target that is broken down to days, weeks, months.
We all need a little help with our focus. I know you will hit some sticky points when it comes to going after a goal. You want to make progress to stay motivated and to stay on track. You don't want to aim to low that it's too easy or too high that it stresses you out.
Make goals in small, incremental goals. Have you heard of a micro goal? It's one way to set yourself up. It's when you set daily, weekly, monthly while you enjoy you accomplishment to the very next step. Sub- Prepare Your Gear. To get out to run with little setbacks.
