In my opinion your run time sounds fine, but if it's endurance you want to work on, it's as simple as just running. The more you run the more your body gets used to it and enables you to run further without tiring. Someone else might no a trick or great workout for a speedy endurance boost but I would just try to run a set length or time, then increase it, and so on and so forth.

I have heard that sprints help a lot in shaving down run time. Also run up and down hills because it will help build the muscles in your legs.

Start doing some wind sprints and jumping rope.

3 weeks isn't much time to do much of anything... but...

- 400 meter sprints (or whatever sprints you can manage)
- Deadlifts, Squats, olympic lifts (lifts that work the posterior chain)
- Intervals
- A few distance runs.

Ultimately, if 3 weeks is all you have, you'll probably have the best result with the sprints and heavy lifting, as opposed to the long distance. Don't overdo it though, you don't want to over train right before shipping, and you certainly don't want to sustain an injury.

Good luck.
