    Adding my perspective... I gained speed through two things.

    1. Losing weight (which is probably why you are here, logging calories)
    2. Strengthening my core (squats, lunges, crunches, etc.).

    The combination of those two items and running often did it for me. My current PRs are:
    5K - 21:09 (my first was 34:42)
    Half - 1:39:36 (my first was 2:14:56)
    Marathon - 3:41:55 (my first was 4:41:03)

    Strengthening my core didn't happen overnight. It takes time to get into shape. The core exercises also help develop leg strength.

    Good Luck!
