Answer 1

gyms are a waste of money if you're a runner.... do A LOT of sprints!

Answer 2

To get stronger do 'negatives.'  Stand on a chair and then lower yourself to the floor on one leg while standing on ball of foot. Only do 7-10 reps a few times a week. Add weight as you get stronger. Also do short top speed sprints to coordinate your strength with speed.

Answer 3

do a lot of sprints..try plymetrics.

Answer 4

You will need to do a lot of sprints around your house or somewhere. You dont have to be at the gym 24/7 but you should do some lifting and specifically work on your abs because that will help you a lot. Finally the other way to get faster is to work on your form. I don't know what event you are planning on running but for most sprints the correct form is a slight forward lean and you have your arms at a 90 degree angle and swing them.
