That kid in the lane inside you absolutely died. I agree on working on your arms. Really work on pumping those elbows back into a full swing. Like you’re pounding a nail with each elbow. You can (and should) practice while stationary. This video has a decent explanation: link to this video

On “First few steps”

Mighty fine job on opening your stride! Looks pretty good! Got some analysis for you to. 1. When you strike the ground your heel is way too close to the ground you. You need your heels to be high above the ground, especially in you drive phase. Here's some really good videos to improve it. Foot and Ankle Strengthening Exercises Foot Contact Time Drills Essential Foot drills 2. Your arm swing is incomplete. You throw your arm back good but when swinging it to your face, you stop it halfway. Here's the drill I used to fix that problem. I had the exact same issue until just a few weeks ago when I found this drill. Once you correct this, you'll feel 10x faster. Arm Swing Drill

On “How to pumps arms faster and with good technique for a 100m guy?”

Start with asking a coach or watching some youtube videos on what good technique looks like (I'd recommend this video: link to this video Then, practice moving your arms like you're running while standing in front of a mirror. For one minute each, do a slow jog, then a faced passed jog, then a full on sprint. Do this everyday then your arms will be a second nature. Good luck!
