I feel like I'm not improving and am not sure how to train for improvement. Any advice? I can run a mile at 5mph without stopping right now but I can't seem to get over that hump.

Build a foundation or base of training miles that's appropriate to the race distance you're aiming for. Then start mixing in specific workouts that will improve your running efficiency. Steady paced running will make you a one pace runner. This is where having a training partner or group comes in handy. Also, research training schedules that look "do-able"
