Bottom line: genetics and skill dictate much of your ability to run or move fast.

Wishful thinking and squandering valuable time on many conventional "speed development" drills is not the way to go.

Another Case for Training Harder and Resting Longer in Strength Training

Don't be that gym mullet who unnecessarily “does things” (half-assed) 5-6 days/week for 90+ minutes each session. If you are, you’re either not truly working hard, or you are WAY overtraining.
