Answer 1

You only need to do two things. Get very strong and practice short, top speed sprints. Locomotion scientist proved the fastest runners have the most muscular support force at ground contact resulting in shorter contact times and longer strides. This means you need isometric strength. Try leg presses where you lift the weight with both legs but hold the weight with one leg, knee slightly bent, on ball of foot. Hold as much weight as you can for 10-20 seconds. Do 3-6 holds on each leg in a session and workout 2 or 3 times a week. Do short top speed sprints to bring out the elastic qualities of your new strength.  

Answer 2

Practice. Lots.

Answer 3

Train Train and train...oh did i say train?
