The interval training that BD meantioned above is one of the best ways to train your endurance.
The one key to running distance like that is to keep a steady pace. That should be a fast pace, but keep it steady. During cross country season, the people who run in spurts, that is, people who run for half a mile, then walk for half a mile, are the slowest people on the team.
If I were you, make sure that you are running with the right form (yes there is a correct form) and breathing the correct way. After that, its all about training.
With these sort of steps, and a lot of training like what BD said, I was able to push my 5k time down under 20 min.
