Well you need endurance, speed and stamina along with fast twitch muscles, so you would need to do a mixture of the following:
Drills
Interval Training
Weights
Long, steady runs (Once/Twice a week)
And remember to warm up properly + cool down, it is VERY important.
If you need to contact me on anything else do so on:

Just increase support force and run short top speed sprints. The fastest runners have the most muscle support force as they don’t collapse at the ankle/knee at ground contact. This results in the shorter contact times and longer strides of fast runners. Try leg presses where you lift the weight with both legs but hold in place with one leg, on ball of foot, knee slightly bent. Hold as much weight as you can for 10-20 seconds. Do 6-8 holds on each leg a few times a week. Also run short under distance sprints to apply the force faster and to improve the storage and release of elastic energy. Don’t do distance runs as that just teaches you to get slower due to the longer contact times and you sprinting does not require aerobic endurance.
