Answer 1

Plyometrics Exercises will make you run faster. Plyometric exercises should be performed fresh and at maximum intensity. These type of exercises should always be performed on a soft surface as they can damage your joint when don on concrete, tartan, ect.

Once you get tired from these exercise and you're struggling you should stop. If you continue these exercises while your puffed-out they will no longer be a true plyometric exercise.

Here are some exercises below;
___________________
1)Alternating split leg jump - Start in the lunge position with your right leg in front.
Then jump (using your arms as you usually do while jumping) up into the air and land back in the squat position with your left leg in front.
Immediately after landing explode upwards again landing with your right leg in front.

Do 8-15 jumps or until breathing heavily with at least 40 seconds rest.

___________________
2)Knee Tuck Jump - Jump as high as you can, and get your knees towards your chest.

Do 5-10 jumps or until breathing heavily with at least 50 seconds rest.

___________________
3)Single leg bound - Bound/Hop on one leg with the other leg looking like it's cycling backwards

Do 5-10 jumps or until breathing heavily with at least 45 seconds rest.

______________________________...

Here is also an exercise that you can do while on the computer eating dinner or even watching TV;

___________________
This exercise strengthens your lower leg extensors, otherwise known your shin. Point your toes towards your shins, as close as you possibly can and hold it for as long as you possibly can.

This exercise will increase not only speed, but jumping height as well.
