I do 10 laps, walk 2 laps, jog 2 laps and start again and do 3 of these.
It\'s really helped my quickness and my overall running.
Certain lifting exercises (cleans) help you with explosiveness, as do bx jumps, jumping rope and dots.
What kind of things do you have available to you? I will try to help you the best I can.

at the moment... i have 5 acres, a 15' trampoline if that can help at all, dots i can make with an old mat and some spray paint, boxes i can make. i have an olympic weight set in the basement, but the basement is in pretty bad condition because our house is basically still a construction site. i can go buy anything else if need be or i can improvise fairly well. not too far away i have a forest preserve with a nice big hill. that vest.... i think my buddy has one but he's in alabama. i don't know if he brought it with him or not but we'll see. are there any specific cone exercises i can do other than the basic sprint forward backpedal to start type of thing? should i go pick up a ladder for quicker feet?
