Answers:

I'm looking at treadmills from Ironman (Legacy), Smooth (5.25), and Sole (f63).Which offers the best quality?

Work on your sprints for the first 100 and last 200. You should be starting in a sprint to make it to the front of the pack. Run a steady pace throughout the race, and then sprint the last 200 to boost your time and possibly beat some others right in front of you. What is your time now? Be sure you are not only practicing the 800 and mile but practicing 200s and 400s to boost your speed.

When i get up on 5am .. then wad should i run on empty or >>??

I'm a 14 year old girl and i run the 800 in 2:34. The guys in my school usually run the 800 in 2:02 - 2:12.

I would do repeats if i were you. like 5x100, 5x200 5x400 3x800 and 2x1000.

Also do fartlek runs
Run at an easy pace for 2 minutes, and then for one minute SPRINT, then go back to just running (but don't stop in between, that deafeats the purpose)
Fartleks will help you find the strength within yourself to sprint the last 200m no matter how tired you are.

Good luck! :)

I run two miles everday but still dont get fast?

It looks like you have pretty decent speed. I would be doing some longs runs twice a week at least 5 to 8 miles to get some endurance. Then do some repeats like 200's,400's and 800's. I would put in 1 day of Hill repeats. Always do an easy run the day before a hard track workout or run. My son is 13 and runs 2:30 800 but his mile is 5:22. He works more on his endurance because speed will come along. Well good Luck!
