    try jogging with ankle weights or even jumping up and down with them on. makes your calves stronger and gives your more elg strength win you run. thats what my track coach has us do

    Run with your head in a fixed position. This saves so much energy. You could chip off at least 30 seconds with keeping your head straight forward and not bobbing around.

    if you feel sick try being more hydrated. its very vital to drink water the day before (!) a race. also yet a excellent carbohydrate filled dinner, and a breakfast size based on how soon your race is. The sooner your race, the lighter your breakfast, and dairy+danger if eaten too close to a race. make sure you have at least three hours before dairy.

    one more note, if you want to run quicker for 1.5 miles. you should run at least 1.5 miles consistently! and dont forget to stretch (20-30 secs per stretch)

    Excellent luck!
