I was a sprinter in school, and have always been a better sprinter than distance guy, so I think eventually, ill get those legs back under me. The running a mile or 2 is more for conditioning so I dont pass out while playing.
My biggest issue is coming up with a legit workout/lifting plan for this. For 10+ years my lifting goals have been bigger/stronger, not necessarily athletic goals. Ive already cut weight down from 200/205 and will probably cut another 10 lbs which should help with speed as well.
Ive read a few articles saying that you should be doing more Olympic lifts vs what you consider "normal" lifts to build athleticism. Any experience in that?

If you google players that play your position, you should be able to find their workouts - though secret things that give them the edge...
One thing just about all the players do is sports massage - seriously a big factor.
