How can I increase my running speed? (lemmy.world)

I started running about a year ago and I really enjoy it. Most of the time I run on treadmills before my workout, but when I can I love to run at parks. My roommate and I had a race my last semester and he zoomed away as soon as I reached my limit. Would appreciate any recommendations.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your responses!

Getting my leg presses up to 8 plates per side shot up my running speed without any running at all. So I would say focus on leg strength and practice running a lot and keep trying to improve your form using videos or something.
