ive only just started trying to run 1 mile as fast as I can after usually going for longer distances. both are good for different reasons.
i do this on a treadmill, my fastest is 7 mins. although the last time i tried I was due to finish sub 7 mins, around 6.50 and the treadmill cut out as i was running around 9.2mph and almost sent me flying.
im over 6ft and big build so im never going to be flying. i could get to around 6.30 though. not currently however, shin splints are no joke...

at the moment i start my workouts with a 1.5 mile run and i do it in 12 to 13 minutes.

just like anything it's one step at a time. start off walking, then add some jogging to your walking. before you know it you'll be running miles too. it's a wonderful way to relax.
the way you improved with your push-ups is the same way you'll improve with your running. i run 4.5 to 5 miles per day, every day. two years ago i was in such bad shape that i couldn't run three blocks without wanting to puke.
