Its not about distance, its about intensity... (High INTENSITY Interval Training). Increasing your distance to 5 miles at the same pace won't do jackshit with what you're trying to accomplish.
Increase your intensity, run faster on the treadmill, bring down the rest periods. Or like everyone says, go outside. There's a big difference between running in place on a treadmill and actually fighting against gravity (when you're outside, you're applying force not just against gravity but also in the forward direction, two vectors as opposed to one vector on a treadmill) Most people find that whatever distance they can do on a treadmill, is usually half of what they can do outside.
