Answer 3

Try having my ex chase you with a knife.  That should shave a few seconds off your 100 meter dash....

Answer 4

The key is to lengthen your stride.  There are many drills to help with this.  All which are hard to explain non-verbally.  But I will try!

First, mark off 15-25 yards.  

The first drill is high knee.  Run the 15-25 yards while bringing you knees as high as you can.  Hopefully past your chest.

Next, do a butt-kick.  You will lean slightly forward when you run.  Except you will kick you butt with your heal as you run.

Next, do a skip run.  It will feel like you are doing some sort of rain dance.  Hop on you left foot twice while kicking out your right foot and then visa-versa.

Next, run backwards while really stretching out your stride.  Make sure to give yourself plenty of room so you don't kill yourself.

Besides those, you can also run down hill.

Good luck!
