What is your current work out look like? And also, what does your diet consist of? Do you use any supplements?

I do not take supps, or lift. I try to run 1.5 miles everyday. Usually in about 7:30.

for 1.5 miles? :wow

Is that really slow or something?

thats pretty good a nice mile time is 4 min but lets be real not all people are able to do something like this. It's actually a real good time. If you looking to increase endurance though you might want to go a longer distance and keep your heart rate in your THR, even if this means slowing down you pace.

4 minute miles are fast. 7:30 for 1.5 miles is pretty good. Its about a 5 min mile which is good for running to just work out. In my personal opinion though, 1.5 miles isn't that much if it is your only work out. Running is good for endurance, burning calories/fat, and getting lean muscles. If you want to build more muscle mass, I suggest doing some sort of weight work out along with the running. You could do weights and running everyday, or alternate days, or even keep running everyday and do weights 3-4 times a week in addition to the running.

Fast actually. I can only do mid 6's

I've never been able to comprehend how someone can run a mile in 4 minutes... I am a sprinter and it seems to me you would have to be sprinting the ENTIRE time.
