1. abdominal and core training will increase speed but you need to work on stamina as well.

do sprints, walk-jog-run (50 yards each, no stop) and biceps to pump your arms faster.

2. Careful with weight lifting it can slow you down, so don't over do it.

3. The best way to get faster is to run more. Weights will have a small impact on your time, if any.

4. Hello my name is Heather Norris I'm a Fitness Professional in Maine. Weight training is actually a very good way to improve your running. Performing some calf raises and perhaps some squats,hamstring exercises. You want hit all the major muscles. trust me weight training does not slow you down. I ran in high school and college weight trained the whole time and i was one of the top 10 runners in college. alot of runners just like to be lean.
