Ran 12 miles today, my longest run to date. It took me 1:15, but I sped up on the second half, running it in 36 mins. I feel that I need to run longer distances, mainly because I need get in better aerobic shape. How fast I run in 5k and 10k races is solely dependent on my heart and lungs, not my leg power. I think that if I get in better aerobic shape, I can greatly reduce my times.

Nick:

26:30 is definitely within your reach right now. You just need to be able to extend your best 5 K to an 8 K at the same pace. This is not a big leap.

You have correctly noticed that it is your cardiovascular conditioning that is currently limiting your progress. Keep up running the miles. The running day must not end for you until you have run at least 8 miles.
