i've if you mix up your running with...
1. long distance/fitness oriented bike rides it will improve your cardiovascular fitness. you can keep your heart at a higher BPM for a longer period of time because the anaerobic motion of your muscles isn't as big of a restraint.
2. sprints. a mile is approximately 1600 meters, so run a mile total distance broken into shorter sprints. i run three 400 meter sprints and four 100 meter sprints. training your legs to be quick and to be used to sensation of speed will dramatically decrease mile times.
this strategy has helped me quite a bit. good luck all.
