    I assume you are a sprinter not a distance runner. Typically runners work on plyometric drills to develop speed of contraction and explosive power for better running. You best bet is to work on short intervals or hill repeats to develop your fast twitch fibers.

    It is good to do fast movement rather than slow movement when lifting.

    Besides lifting you should also do plyometric drills twice each week, finishing with 10x100 meter strides.
