I want to run sub 2:00 by the end of the season. What is your advice?

Focus on trying to win races. The times will take care of themselves.

Know at this point you have done nothing special until you start running around 1:56, so keep training and done psych yourself up about running, it can lead to a future burn out. I do not mean to be blunt, but from personal experience, getting overexcited can be worse than being a little unmotivated, so just focus on other things and let running come along.

Keep focusing on your time. The faster you get, fewer runners will be able to keep up. Unless you are in a very competitive area, you may be winning races easily.

Run the first lap in 65 seconds, then run the last lap in 53.

Boom. 1:58 looking like a badass motha focka
