Run hills. Run while pulling something like the football sleds.

Drills, drills drills. When I played football in high school I had some great yardage, and now when I play rec I run the same drills and smoke the competition.
Work on speed exercises. Suicides are a tried and true method for strengthening your leg muscles quick start-stop times. High speed sprints alternated with low speed jogs help your body adjust to speed intervals like the 100 meter. Water drills are also good in that they add resistance to your running. Try sprinting back and fourth the shallow end of a pool to increase speed strength in your legs. Good luck!

Your Page File must be two one million/two occasions higher than your RAM. I individually disagree with Page Filing. I've setup a few of my machines with as low as sixteen MEG Page File. If you've a tremendous quantity of RAM (512 or above) I most likely shrink the Page File measurement to a 3rd the scale of my RAM To difference your Page File measurement >Control Panel >System > Advanced >Performance > Setting >Advanced >Virtual Memory> Change. Just make certain that that is what you desire to do earlier than doing this. There is a shareware software "Cachemon" that I have located to be very well with out getting you fingers soiled. But, once more, make certain you recognize what you're doing. I simply use an un-installer software to take away Cachemon after I have the atmosphere stored.

Easy answer. Just look at the competitors at any track meet and you'll see the sprinters all look like body builders. Any distance up to a mile is mostly upper body strength. So get to the gym and get a strength building regimen.
Good Luck

run hills with parachutes or weigh vests
then do intervals of 50, 100, 150, 200 and work your way down
if your not running on your toes, that could shave some time off
look at your form, are your arms crossing your body, or are you leaning back?
thats all i can think off

Flexibility helps running. Practice the splits, touching your toes, etc. The more flexible you are, the faster you can run. When you practice the splitz, your stride will eventually get longer.

don't run with weights on your legs, unless you want all of your joints in your legs to disconnect.
