Answer 1

eat lots of pasta the day before and bananas before your race and drink plenty of water

Answer 2

..That's kinda weird.  You shouldn't be feeling that bad after 100m.  You should tell someone about it because it could be a result of what the first guy said.

Answer 3

If you want to e-mail me [e-mail] for some in depth details on how to get faster, please do.

Otherwise, you need to do two things...

1) Get in better shape. Do this by doing 120-meter sprints in practice IF you are ONLY a 100-meter sprinter. The reason that you need to do 120-meter sprints for a 100-meter dash is because most 100-meter dash runners start to decrease in speed around the 80-85-meter mark. Some before, some after. But, it is highly rare for someone to hold top speed through 100-meters. By training and running 120-meter sprints in practice, when you run the 100-meter dash in a meet not only will it seem shorter, you'll be in better shape and won't decrease speed as fast. If you're training for the 200-meter dash, do the same thing except with 240-meter sprints.

2) Make sure you are properly hydrated and healthy on race day. You shouldn't be water logged, but you should drink at least 8-12 oz. of water 30-minutes before the race and have dranken ample amounts of water throughout the day.

Answer 4

dehydration, iron deficiency, lack of potasium there just a few that could be possible

oh and to get faster: train, better technique, eat well, drink plenty of water and get the right gear

Answer 5

If you feel this after only 100 meters you need to work on your stamina. But it could also be part of the answer above.

how to improve speed-  run on the balls of your feet

                                        - Arms at 90 degree angle

                                        - Come out of blocks at 45 degree angle and gradually rise
