Study proper breathing techniques. Around where I live you may see the Olympic and Boston Marathoners training as well as Olympic and Tour de France bike trainers. If you do not know proper breathing, you will not oxygenate properly. 6’3 and 185 lbs for weight appropriateness…

4 hours 16 minutes to get through Boston Marathon.

Start slow and gradually build up. And your body needs rest in between. How soon are you joining the track team?

cool, good luck! finding a consistent routine that works for you will be the most important thing, and then as your body/cardio/overall stamina gets stronger, you can push yourself harder.

i like to listen to music while running... helps me forget about the annoying part of "running" and just get into a groove.

Focus on breathing. Make sure you're warming up before running. Mix up slow and fast miles. It gets easier the more you run. Build up your mileage slowly to prevent injury.

It's good you are young, you could try motivational music, something that can distract you from the burn in your legs or the fatigue of breaking a barrier, you just have to take it slowly, if you can only do 5km, then to get to six you should run 4 and rest for enough time to run an extra 2 km.

You could incorporate fartlek workouts into your training. It will help you run longer. The fact is that nothing can replace putting in the miles. You don't say what you are training for but you should not add more than 10% milage per week.
