False Speeds

Ahhh, it is doing my head in.
WhenI go out for a fast run, I push myself, and feel like I am sprinting. Only ti find out I am not going as quick as I want to be.
When I am on the bike, I fly past people only to find out my times are pants.
I can handle the bike, as it just means more training.
But how the heck can I get faster. I have tried sprint training, endurance training. I can't seem to get under 8 minute mile at a consistent pace. If I could do this I would be chuffed. As it stands I am comfortable at 9 minute miling, pushing at 08:30 minute miling, and feel like I am sprinting any faster than that. I used to be a 6 minute mile man
I do have Arthitus in both my big toes, which means there is a severe lack of flexibilty in the foot. Could this be the problem? It means my foot lands, twists out, then pushes. Should I get the buggers removed lol.
It is really frustrating me, please help.

I hope this helps
Julie's right too, going out with a club & runners who are slightly better than you will improve your pace. Track sessions are tops for this.
