You don't have to run the entire distance at the same speed, but adapt your speeds so your average increases. You can get an average pace of eight minutes a mile, for instance, by running the first mile in 7 1/2 minutes, the second one in 8 1/2 and the last one in eight minutes.
Increase the speed. If you have been walking at 3 mph, boost the speed to 3.5 and then 4 mph. You may have to do that for only a couple of minutes at a time at first until you build your speed walking technique and capacity. You can also vary the incline to increase the intensity of your workout. By walking or running uphill, you will challenge your muscles in new ways as well as burning more calories at the same speed. You can measure how effective that is by noting your breathing intensifying and your heart rate being raised.
