There are several workouts you can do to gain speed. There are some that are done in the track and others that are done in the weight room. On the track is do technique training (stuff done at slow speeds). Work on your stride and timing. Pushing off with your back leg, arms 90 deg. front to back not across the body. Do these to warm-up. Then run using good technique at 80% of max for 50meters, then jog 50mtrs, then sprint again at 80 for 50meters. To complete two laps. Then change to 30m at 90% 1 lap then 20 meters 100% one lap. Do this until you can increase the length to 200 meters at 80% then jog. In the weight room do SQUATS! Or explosive but controlled lifts like the Power Clean, Power Snatch (hehehehe), Dead Lift, and Bench Press. Good luck with the speed gains!!

You know - and anyone who reads this and runs alone should know - it really works to play games with yourself while running.\n\nYou can do intervals - speeding up for two minutes and then easing back for 5-7 minutes.\n\nYou can sprint and then walk a few times.\n\nChanging terrain can really help.  Have you done hills or stairs, for example?\n\nWhatever you do, workouts are much more fun when you don't have the chance to think about how long, tedious, and painful they are!  Focus your thoughts elsewhere and you'll be much happier for it, I assure you!

I great way to improve your speed is to invest sometime and \nresearch in fast twitch muscle exercises, and plyometric training.  Combined with your regular football workout witch I imagine consist of at least basic football powr lifts like bench, squat, and deadlift.  adding these typ of exercises to your routine helps develope explosion and muscle response.  Another thing you may want to look into is proper running technique.  Running with proper technique can greatly improve your speed.  If your looking to improve your 40 time its great to know what stance give you the most explosive start, and what exercises help you increase your stride length and repition.  If you want information on these I would suggest looking up sprinter workouts for 100 meter and 200 meter runners or even consulting your local highschool or college track coach, you can even try to find some camps that specialize in speed training.

Conditioning & practice.\n\nRun long distances to up your endurance.  You should be running for 20+ minutes strait every other day.  This will get your heart rate up and keep it there for the 20 minutes.  You should start to see improvement in a couple of weeks.\n\nTry to find your best pace to go as fast as you can through the whole length of the race.

Well if you practice running a lot you will improve your running ability.\nI would run at least ten miles a week if I were you.

In training, try adding weights to your body when u run, ie. buy weight wrist and wrap around ur 4 limbs. Also, dun wear "aero dynamics" clothings when training. Try to achieve 12.2secs under these additional load and resistance.

increase water and do some jump and jacks, run the tread for about 30 mins. and STAY AWAY FORM BREAD AND PASTA!!

Dont run at full speed, but run fast, and then jump off of one foot as high as you can(you jump lower off of 2 feet).

Running hills will get your stamina up very quickly. The toughest kind are those that go up really fast and then level off a bit but then still go up for about a quarter mile. Plus aerobics will help you a lot to prevent your heart working harder than it actually has to. A good diet including a good amount of carbs, protein and fat will help you along the way and also taking vitamins will also help a lot.

I went to college to answer this very question. My professor said the key is to simply run faster. Obviously it is more complex than that but the idea is correct. Work on increasing your speed in intervals once or twice a week test you race pace once a month or so... Recover well before these harder training sessions. Recovery is most important! Running longer distances than your race will not increase your speed but it will increase your endurance. best of luck!

One Thing that makes runners faster is doing water excerises  like running in the shallow end of the pool and also treading in water. With those excerises will help strenghten the muscles through out the whole body!!!

See the answer I gave to Tyson who asked the same question only a couple of days ago.\nHere was my answer, try these\nbasic speed training are assisted and resisted speed training. Assisted training (also called overspeed training helps to improve stride frequency. Resisted speed training helps to improve speed-strength and stride length. to improve your speed off the mark and acceleration. \nA typical session may consist of approximately 5 sets of 10 reps\n\ntry some of these sprinting technique drills like these could help improve your technique\nRaise Knees: 10 meters - jog - 10 meters - rest\nSprint 10 meters concentrating on raising knees as higher than normal. Jog for 10 meters and then sprint for 10 meters and rest. \n\nFast Knee Pick Ups: 10 meters - jog - 10 meters - rest\nJogging on the spot raise your knees to waist height while emphasising arm action. Move forward 10 meters with this action concentrating on the number of ground contacts rather than how fast you cover the distance. Try to get as many ground contacts as possible. \n\nFlicks: 10 meters - jog - 10 meters - rest\nWhile sprinting over 10 meters concentrate on flicking your heels up to touch your butt. \n\nLeg Speed: 60 meters\nThis is a normal sprint over 60 meters except all of your focus should be on your legs. Try to gauge the optimum leg speed for you by taking different stride lengths to see which yields the best results. \n\nHigh Hops: 3 x 40 meters\nBound from one foot to the other. The action is similar to skipping except your are trying to gain as much height as possible and stay in the air for as long as possible. Remember to recover fully between attempts. \n\nElbow Drive: 40 meters\nSprint for 40 meters concentrating on driving your elbow in a straight line. Keep your elbows flexed at right angles while keeping your arms relaxed.\n\nSpeed And Agility Drills\n1. Basic Sprints\nSet 2 cones out 10-20 meters apart. Sprint from one cone to the next and slowly jog back to the start. Vary the start of the sprint to make the drill more sport specific. \nFor example... \nFace backwards, lie down, jump up, pretend to receive a pass, jump to head a ball etc. \n\n2. Rolling Start\nExactly the same as above except you jog for 10 meters before sprinting. This drill is specifically designed to enhance acceleration rather than speed off the mark. Try running backwards or side stepping as well.

The key is to keep a long and constant stride.  To get to that point you should run a lot of hills.  This will get your knees to rise higher.  Another important part to improving is to get your wind.  When you breath in a rhythm that is comfortable to you, the air keeps the body energized.  You should time an inhale after three to seven short exhales.  This activity should take place on every step.  The last part to practice is that sprint to the finish.  Only you will know where that starts.  When you pass the finish line, you should have nothing left in your  tank.  You coach should be able to assist you after that.  Some runners like to start the sprint going into the last turn, some are comfortable in sprinting the last 200, and others even start after the second to last turn.  that final kick  is what makes the most difference.  However, you must be able to keep up with everyone up to that point.\n\nIf you work on leg strength and your breathing, your times should improve quickly.

Jogging doesn't improve your speed, it improves your endurance.  To improve your speed you need to have stuff like sprinting workouts.\n\nThis website is really helpful in helping you become faster\n\nhttp://www.preppublications.com/issues/2005/01/06.shtml\n\nHope it helps!

all you can really do is run more or you could start rollerblading for a while. even though i wasnt trying to improve my running time it did. maybe you should try that and running so you can get your leg muscles stronger. or try to breathe more efficiently when you are running. also i used to run on the ball of my foot. but now I dont and I run faster. try making your steps more sspringy. you will definitly feel like your running faster. thats all I can think of. i hope you get faster :D
