How can I become a faster sprinter?

Sprinting up steep hills and stairs - fast. You can do plyometrics like: Tuck Jump, bounding, squat jumps (squat down then jump as high as you can then back down into a squat position). There are loads. Search up what just i listed on Youtube and also type in 'Plyometric exercises for track athletes' or something like that and you should find some useful guides.

Your time isn't THAT bad but could use some improvement^^ you have probably heard this thousands of times but practice a lot. you could do a lot of 100/200 meter dashes, run up hills help, or if you get tired easily then you could go on a 30 minute jog. You have an advantage already because you have a lot of muscle (if you were talking about in your legs). if you don't already, you should get spikes. they have them at most sports stores(ex: Sports Authority). Spikes give you that extra boost. Also, you could work on your form. have your elbows in a loose L with your arms swinging close to your ear. make sure you don't swing yuor arms across your body, have your hands open, and that your shoulders aren't stiff. your body should be relaxed and calm Hope this helps a little:D

Daily training :)

I'm pretty short too so I know how you feel. I would focus on taking longer strides (stretching helps tremendously) and run on your toes not your heels while standing tall. The purpose of the toes is to spring your body forward and it takes less time to spring off a toe than pushing your whole leg with your heels. Your running form can increase your time by seconds if you do it right.

well... not to crush you here, but in high school, i REALLY wanted to be a 200/400 runner but no matter how hard i worked, my body would NOT run any faster... as a result, I put in a ton of mileage, went from a mediocre sprinter to a state champion half miler in about 11months. Some people don't have what you call "fast twitch" muscles, which are necessary to be a strong sprinter. It kind of sounds like this might be your problem, which makes you a lot like me, I know theres not a whole lot of "glory" in middle distance/distance running, but i strongly encourage you to try putting in a lot of mileage and go for 800m... besides, since you're a girl, running distance does amazing things for your legs and butt... just saying!

RUN, RUN, RUN. its like saying how to play fast on an instrument. you gotta practice

Yeah yeah, eat right, be healthy, but that's not all there is to it. You need to begin running daily and pushing urself to have some high energy. My friend and I can finish the mile and take only 1 20second break. Being the fastest just comes to me, I never actually practiced for it. But anyway, before I rudely interupted myself (HI!)... you need to go to some place with laps and see how long you can go without stopping. I would believe that you shouldn't start running as fast as you can at the start (you know- the fastest way that you'd run if you just saw Jesus) and pace urself. (I take some of this info from my P.E. teacher, Mr. Bushnail/ Mr. Circo). Start out jogging and have a 10-20 second walk in the middle of it. When yyou have mastered these artistic abilities (teehee) then you should be capable ar running the good and normal speed for a track runner. I should know this because sio far two of my sister took track. ----——--------________________________... Or you can just practice at the track field whenever you have time instead of lounging around an eating those donut holes that you were planning on buying.
