try starting to run distance. it helps slowly build up your endurance. try running 2, 3, 4, and eventually 5 miles a day..... but take them slow...

What I've found that helps a bit is to get those ankle weights. It is basically similar to a fanny pack for your ankles and you can insert a desired amount of weights in them. Jog on those and gradually increase the weights every week or every other week with an extra pound.
How this helps? You will be "tricking" your body into thinking that you have some extra weight to carry. Your legs will then work slowly get used to the added weight. During a track meet, take the weights off, and you will begin to run a lot faster.
Since your body got used to the weights, when you take them off, you will feel "lighter" and will then run a little faster.
Hope this helps.

Run 3 to 4 times a week and change up your speed and distance. One day run a mile kinda fast. Then the next run maybe 2 or 3, but a hell of a lot slower. The stricter you stay with it, the better shape you'll be in. Also if it's a race, eat carbs and stay hydrated. Plus if you're like 14, you're naturally going to grow and get stronger and faster, therefore your times will go down.

i had that problem before to one year i ran it almost 14 minutes , then the next year i ran it in 7 minutes. the only advice i can really tell u is dont stop running and as long as you dont kill yourself when you start you should be fine

alright.
The idea is, if you work harder, you will feel pain for a lesser time.
One, open your feet more.
like the whole leg, from the thighs.
two, breath through your nose.
three, begin with a sprint and keep it for as long as possible,
four, if you get comfortable during your run, push more (go faster).
five, breath through your nose, plenty of fluids at least half an hour before.
six, sing a song in your head to act as a distraction.
seven, sprint the final hundred metres.
eight, Don't look back.
nine, never stop for a break, if you feel really tired, still continue as a slow jog.
ten, strecthes my friend, strecthes
You got a lot to do if you want to try for track, I can run a mile in under 7 minutes, and I am not the best runner in my school.
hope I helped,
