If you'd like to improve, you should start a workout routine, have your gym class teacher or someone you know of, who specialize in sports, to build you a training schedule. Stick with it and you'll definitely see results.

I would also maybe consult your doctor and see if there is anything that you could do that would make it so your asthma has less of an affect on your running.  Maybe there is something you can take... you never know.  It doesn't hurt to ask.  I know that there have been great athletes who had asthma.  Maybe a sports medicine doctor would know something.
