Theories of getting faster

Looking for perspectives. I've read so much about going slower to go faster. I've also read so much that you can't get faster without going faster. Now, my #1 goal is not to be the fastest, but I also like to challenge myself and feel myself getting stronger. After swearing that I would never run a half marathon, I did it in October. Now I want to start improving my PR. Finally finding my Zone 2 range allowed me to go farther than I've ever been able to go, but my pace drastically reduced. Now I find that I have to force myself to run faster, but I just can't go very far without gasping for breath. So, how do I find the sweet spot?
