How can I improve my 1500m time?

Run a couple of 400m sprints and practice sprinting at the end but then also mix in some 800m and 100m sprints. Make sure to do them differently so that your body does not get used to it because it will slow you down if it gets too habituated. After a while, run some 1500m lengths if you’re up for the challenge.
