Rather than sprinting for 300 meters, try running full out, like you've got a hungry lion on your tail, for three minutes, or until you are spent, then walk three minutes and do it again. (I used my interval timer on my watch when I was doing this training, and the walking gets shaved by the stop/start, but it's just a rest, anyway.)
Repeat the cycle for at least thirty minutes, or until you cannot walk any more. Do this for at least four days a week.
On alternating days, run slowly -- not jog, for at least three miles, but try for five to six.
Rest no more than two days a week. The speed work can be cut back to three times a week after a month.
Your muscles will get out of their rut, you'll get faster, and the long runs will improve your strength and endurance.
Besides, it's fun seeing peoples' faces when you charge past.
