I am a senior in high school and I play rugby. Last year, before the season began, I went for long runs to get into good shape. This paid off because I was named a starter once the season started. This year I really want to improve and get faster (I am a wing/fullback so speed is important) I was wondering if it is better to go for slower longer runs or faster shorter runs? Also, is there any other way I can get faster? Thank you.I am a senior in high school and I play rugby. Last year, before the season began, I went for long runs to get into good shape.

speak with an athletics coach (track and field) if any one knows how to make someone faster its them

just work on your cardio and your leg exercises is my advice to you and to get a starter position is a great thing in my opinion

Run faster. Drop some weight.

Plenty of foot work drills and get lifting, squat, deadlift. and some resistance training. I coach American Football here in the UK it's what try &get across to our Youth Players.
