Before you can get fast you have to have a strong base. Start by going on longer runs, maybe 4 or 5 times a week. And stretch nightly. Continue do build up your endurance for about a month or so, along with lifting weights... its important that you have a strong core, so do a lot of abdominal exercises. To become faster it wont happen over night, treat your body like your temple and make friends with your running shoes.

the only way to increase ur stamina is to do more stamina training! not the easy option, but the effective option. try going for steady runs of about 30mins in duration as well as the sessions with a group. in 12weeks u shd notice an increased stamina- a good way of determining ur fitness is by taking ur resting heart rate first thing in the morning before u sit up. anything under 60 is great.

The best way to get faster? Run\nThe best way to improve in soccer? Play and watch soccer.\n\nTrainning is the key, trust me. In two years I went from nothing to a good goalkeeper, and after two years without trainning, I'm crappy

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.

You first start by starting to run at your own pace and then you gradually increase it by going faster and thinking about going faster its all in the mind. Well thats what i did and now I run faster then i use to...

A great way to increase jumping ability is to lift. Squats and calf raises are the best for jumping. Start out slow and work for power. Once you get that down, work on speed. Do the same lifts, only faster. This helps your leg muscles to work more quickly. You don't want to work on jumping as much because it weakens your legs. Do more with weights to work out your legs and become more powerful. A great magazine to check out is called Stack. It can answer many of your athletic questions.

you should boost your cardiovascular system--and condition it so you have more endurance\n\ndo this by running on an inclined treadmill\nstart easy at first since your heart isn't at that level yet--and slowly work your way up--so you can run consistently for 20 minutes or so\n\nthen get back in the pool to see your cardio conditioning progress\nyou'll notice significant results! \nmake sure you learn how to pace yourself

Do half mile and mile repeats fast enough to where when you get the end you don't feel like you can go faster.   \nYou could do any combination of: \nfast 1 mile\n5 minute rest\nfast 1 mile\n5 minute rest\nfast half mile\n5 minute rest\nfast half mile\n\n\nThis will help build your speed.  Do this 2 or 3 times a week.  Also 1 or 2 times a week you should build up your endurance by running a moderate paced 3-5 miles or more if your up to it.  And if you have the time 1 day a week you should run hill repeats.  Hills are great at strengthening your legs which can make you faster!

ideally, u shd get urself a sprint coach at ur local running club.\nI would start prob by doing some weights and getting your strenth up to increase the capability of the force your muscles can exert. \nThen I would start to do more powerful weights like cleans. This will increase your explosive power and make you quicker off the line. \nPlyometric exercises are also good in improving speed (bounding, jumping, skipping etc). \nAnd of course sprint work at ur local track will also be vital. If its pure speed ur after then sessions like 5x60m flat out with a couple of minutes recovery wd be gd.\nAlways ensure u are fully warmed up as these exercises will put pressure on your leg muscles and may cause them to pull or tear!

I'm going to put an answer on here, just so I don't get in trouble for it not being an answer.\n\nContinue running, I imagine the more you run, the faster you will get.\n\nOk, now what I really wanted to say:\nWow, 16 minutes is fast!  I just ran a 5K yesterday, and it took me just under 30 minutes.  Obviously, I'm not a serious runner, though.  Actually, I just recently started over the last couple months.  But 16 minutes is really good!\n\nI found a couple sites that are talking about training to run faster:\nhttp://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Run-Faster&id=106349\nhttp://www.trifuel.com/triathlon/run/how-to-train-smarter-and-run-faster-000144.php\nhttp://www.brianmac.demon.co.uk/speed.htm\n\nHope they help.\nGood luck on your run!  :)

well, to jump higher you need to strengthen your quads ands hamstrings while calves will mkae you run faster. heres how to run faster\n1st run enduarnce such as 3 mile runs\n2nd do 3 mile runs and while your doing it sprint then jog sprint then jog (called fartliks)\nAlso do 100, 200 meter sprints\nTo jump higher, run more as well as go to the weight room, do leg press workouts and squats. Also do field workouts such as karaoke and high knees. Also work some muscle on the arms to help the upward motion.

Swat and straight leg dead lift (hope you know what that is<<) every other day. dont run long distance that doesn't help with your speed just stamina if you want to get faster go short sprint with explosive running like a 40 to 100 yard dash. Time yourself and try to beat your best time every run.

well running by now wont help you. only 1 thing can help you within 2 days\nStretch 3 time a day till your meet and your stride will dramtically increase\nstretch for 2 seconds and repeat this 10-20 times\nDO this for all your normal stretches \nMake sure your breath in and out\nthe first few time you do this it wil ltake you a long time and you will sweat alot but as you get more edpirenced you will be cokme more efficent\nthis will lenghten you stride dramatically and possibly help your race this weekend
