How to gain speed in track?

Question

whats a way to gain speed?

certain foods i shouldn't eat or something?

Answer 1

What event are you running?

Answer 2

short explosive sprints.  deep knee hops, practice practice

Answer 3

run 400m repeats 6-8 times. run 200m repeats 10-12 times. this is if u run distance (800m and up). if u run sprints, then do 100 and 200 m workouts. but speed is not all about legs. strengthen your core (abs, arms, back) so you can stay in an efficient form while running

Answer 4

It is all about the arms and the butt! Pump your arms harder, and tighten your butt! I used to drink a rockstar an hour before my race, and it gave me extra energy.

Answer 5

plyometrics  (high knees, butt kicks , skips for height, bounding)

weightlifting (squats are necessary)

and of course some running workouts

as for food, just eat healthy-ish
