80 seconds for 400 is slow but it could mean you are just out of shape.

for now you need to start running more than just 30 minutes a day.

one day a week start adding time until you at least get up to an hour

what Tom said.

Don't even worry about running anything short and fast more than once a week until March. Yes, I know, it seems like it won't help to run a lot of slow miles, but actually it helps a LOT.
