Focus on the endurance, and challenge the **** out of yourself and the speed will come.
I don't normally advocate taking fitness advice from a 400lbs man, but I have some experience in this.

right now I am doing intervals and I do a little less than 10 minutes per mile for 3 miles. At this point my routine is getting a little bit easy. I'm thinking of either increasing speed and sticking with 30 minutes of cardio or maybe adding 2-4 more intervals into my routine.
