Yeh theres no quick fix. 1.5 mile shouldn't be to taxing for your legs its just intense on the lungs. So try adding a day at the gym on the rowing machine between running days to help build your lungs up + its low impact. When I started out I ran every chance I got and nothing else got my time down but missed selection dam shin splints!

Try mixing things up a bit...
Long endurance runs
Short fast runs (e.g. your 1.5 miler)
Hill sprints
Interval training
Circuit training whilst running (pressups etc every 5 minutes or similar...)
Cross country
Moonwalking (OK maybe not that... :lol: )

If you only practice your 1.5 miler you'll get bored and your body won't adapt to running in general so try other stuff as well. 8)
Also "spinning" (studio cycling) is a great non-impact workout that can really help your running, in terms of CV as well as working the muscles used.
