Before my frisbee days, I ran the 60m and 400m for BYU.

Hot take: Ultimate people shouldn't run longer than 200m when doing sprint workouts. Train for sprint endurance: short distances/ short recovery. Distance training teaches the body to be able to run for a long time, not to be able to burst and sprint during a long point
When chasing down a disk, rather than leaning down to gain speed, get tall. Leaning restricts knee drive. Staying tall engages core, allows for high heel recovery and knee drive, is the only way to maintain speed after the drive phase
Hot take: 80% of disks wouldnt have to be layed out for if people would just run
(1/2)Here is a sample workout I like to use to gauge where my athletes are at:
6x200m w/90s rest. Time and record each rep.
What you'll usually see is an athlete who will run 28 sec on their first rep and then 40 sec by their last one. The goal is to minimize that 12 sec gap.

(2/2) occasionally you'll get an athlete who runs 30 sec for their first rep and then 32 sec for their last one. In which case, you'll know that they need speed work over sprint endurance. Your goal then is to cut time off their first rep rather than their last
Lastly, I think the easiest way to get faster is just by running fast. Don't over complicate it, just get out there and start busting out some 50m/100m sprints.
