This is for my lacrosse team. How hard would it be and what would be a good workout routine. I am a 14 year old male and I also lift weights if that has to do with anything. THANKS!

Drinking water or taking any fluids before running is good ?
if you just started running, taking a minute off your two mile time will be relatively easy. Steady runs of 3 or 4 miles a day will help a lot. Also maybe running a few workouts will help.I reccomend an uptempo 3 mile run once or twice and maybe a 400 workout on a track. The workout that other guy reccomended seems a little ambitious for a beginner so you can go slower than that i think. Make sure you're well rested before the actual test run.
As for the weight lifting, no it shouldn't matter. I run for my school 3 seasons a year and combine that with a weight training regimin. If anything, it helps to have a strong core.
What is the best way to increase my acceleration (sprinting)?
Monday, wed, friday: Run 4 miles (builds endurance)Tues Thursday: Run 400's(one lap around the track) Aim for 78sec each lap take 60sec break in between each one. Do 12-16 if you are able to do 16 at 78 sec lower to 76 keep lowering until difficult. Do not go below 68sec/lap. This will be for speed
Saturday Sunday: One day run 6miles take the other off.

One thing you'll hear a lot as an athlete: You can't teach speed.Just keep running, work on your stamina, and you're bound to get better and be able to run longer without getting tired.
