-interval training - a series of short all-out sprints with active (jogging) recovery.
-weighted runs - build strength and have your speed fly up when you take the weight off.
-longer runs - practice your stamina on 5mile runs to make the 2miles super easy.

im in the same boat as you dude, the thing that helped me get lean and run better is ruck marching, i did those for the mileage then ran for the speed, it worked for me
