How to build up more pace in bowling?

I am able to swing the ball but my pace is not fast, I am 170 cm tall and weigh around 60 - how can I add a yard or two of speed to my bowling?

According to Brett Lee these are the most important points:-

1) Stay out the gym room. No weights

2) Be a good runner.

3) Work on your flexibility.

4) Work on your lower core strength through sit-ups and push-ups.

5) Have the right momentum and balance at the crease.

6) A very high pain threshold.

Apparently Kapil Dev is a firm believer in point 1..
