Sprints between two points as fast as you can run.

Jog two laps, walk a cooldown, sprint two laps, walk a cooldown. Each time increase your speed a little. This is also good for any type of running training - go fast then rest go fast then rest. Time yourself and give yourself goals, like two miles in 12 minutes or something good. I don't really know what a good cross country score would be but you can do it if you're just consistent in your training. Make sure to stretch thoroughly before everything though.

use extra speed and use more energy at the start

Make sure to wear a helmet and shoes.\n\nStart at a slow speed. You will pick up speed as you go. Pull up on the handle bars and at the same time do a strong pedal. Be careful not to pull over.  Make sure you are standing up. Any fat tire (mountain bike type) would do. The higher the handle bars the easier. Once up, try not to pedal too fast, just fast enough to keep the front end up. The more you practice, the further you can go. Try to compete against your friends.

Start slow.  On the first day, walk for five minutes and jog for one minute, and repeat.  Keep that up for as long as you can -- one lap or two.  The next day, walk for four minutes and jog for two, and repeat.  Each day you should walk a little less and jog a little more.\n\nDon't worry about how you're doing on a particular day.  Just keep it up and you'll gradually get stronger.

Do half mile and mile repeats fast enough to where when you get the end you don't feel like you can go faster.   \nYou could do any combination of: \nfast 1 mile\n5 minute rest\nfast 1 mile\n5 minute rest\nfast half mile\n5 minute rest\nfast half mile\n\n\nThis will help build your speed.  Do this 2 or 3 times a week.  Also 1 or 2 times a week you should build up your endurance by running a moderate paced 3-5 miles or more if your up to it.  And if you have the time 1 day a week you should run hill repeats.  Hills are great at strengthening your legs which can make you faster!

If you are running a fixed distance the only way you can get a better time is to run faster.  You are stuck with the equation that time equals distance divided by speed.  So, whatever you can do to increase your speed will lower the time it takes.

Yes, keeping your legs straight will make you go faster.  You need to think of yourself as a needle or torpedo in the water.  You want the least resistance as possible so staying straight will make you go faster.  You want to kick from your hips and point your toes.  I used to have a large sissors kick and it only slowed me down.  Other swimmers kept pointing this out to me and I concetrated on keeping my legs together.  You can feel your thighs rub together and let your big toes touch each other each time you kick.  Now that I don't have a big sissors kick and I'm more streamlined I can swim 20 seconds faster for 250 yards.

I know it's been said... but...\n\nRun faster\nSwim faster and \nCycle faster\n\nOne last thing you could try is train harder and longer.\n\nLess junk food, more vitamins and protien, and stack up on carbs a week before\n\nBut there ain't no way if you ain't got it in ya!

I'm going to put an answer on here, just so I don't get in trouble for it not being an answer.\n\nContinue running, I imagine the more you run, the faster you will get.\n\nOk, now what I really wanted to say:\nWow, 16 minutes is fast!  I just ran a 5K yesterday, and it took me just under 30 minutes.  Obviously, I'm not a serious runner, though.  Actually, I just recently started over the last couple months.  But 16 minutes is really good!\n\nI found a couple sites that are talking about training to run faster:\nhttp://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Run-Faster&id=106349\nhttp://www.trifuel.com/triathlon/run/how-to-train-smarter-and-run-faster-000144.php\nhttp://www.brianmac.demon.co.uk/speed.htm\n\nHope they help.\nGood luck on your run!  :)

Do a defrag on your computer...\nClean disk...\nAlso they have RAM chips you can add to your computer which will make it run faster..
