I would slow it down a bit and add the mileage if I were you. Work your way up to the 4 miles, then work on decreasing the time it takes to run them. For most people increasing distance naturally makes them faster over shorter distances. If you only want to run twice a week, you might consider making every third run a longer distance, and every once in a while doing a shorter, faster distance just to mix things up a bit.
