How I did it: I pretty much ran three times a week, building up my endurance until I could run three miles straight. I was running in the cross country camp for my school, and it was pretty much "Show up and get better." (Obviously there was more than just going but it's easy to improve just with consistent effort, something that kind of surprised me at first.) I had today off for running, but I knew that I wasn't going to get the chance to test myself during practice tomorrow, so I hooked myself up to the treadmill, picked a speed that would be easy to maintain, and just did it.

During my run today, I did 1.5 miles without stopping, so I am literally halfway there. It was a 3 mile route, and after the halfway I stopped and got my breath, and pretty much did “run 3 walk 2” the 1.5 back. It took me 4ish weeks to get here, but I don’t think it’ll take me 4 weeks to finish, as I can run a good portion of the rest. 2 weeks maybe? This was the route I ran on my first day, and then I couldn’t even make half the 1.5! 7 months ago
