Look up Edwin Moses training.
8X400m with one hour rest between reps
You will end up injured if you try to run for 3-8 hours a day.
Get on a bike. sin addition to your usually running mileage ride for20-30 hours a week nice and easy to build a big aerobic engine.

I understand that desire, but I learned recovery is a just as big of a part of training as training itself. instead of trying to kill yourself with a workout that might tank your training for a few weeks. Work on adding all the form drills, core, and all the small things. There are plenty of things that will help, and you can spend time working on. JUST MAKE SURE YOU ARE ABLE TO RECOVERY!!!
That's just normal sprinter training.

Awesome. Don't let the feeling pass. Just keep doing intervals and doing an easy lap or two between sets until you can't hardly walk. If you do pull a muscle or get to the point where the pain feels like injury rather than fatigue, don't push it further and get some ice on it.

Also, once you can't walk anymore, get in the pool. Do some cross training. Maybe you can get to the point where you can't move your body anymore! Seriously, that would be awesome!
You're looking at this wrong. You have all day to RECOVER. Train hard and enjoy a long nap afterwards.

Okay using what everyone told me
Core, technique, etc etc
i decided upon interval training until i fall apart.
break for 1-2 hours
pool or biking
I'll only do this 2 days a week. for I have summer track Sunday - Wednesday and then i'll rest on Saturdays.
5 x 18 miles
Don't add extra volume to your track sessions for the sake of it. But perhaps you should spend longer warming up (more stretching, particularly dynamic stretching and drills).
Work on sprint starts.
Ask someone to film you. Then analyse your form with a coach. Then work on it. Think about improving your form when sprinting. Do specific drills and exercises to help with poor areas (e.g. if your knee lift is low).
You can probably do a lot of weight training and other gym work as a separate session.
