Sounds arrogant, but on the other hand I'm like.. what gives. Just practice moving one foot in front of the other and give it some mustard. Why can't you do that when you have friggin elephant's thighs.

It's not about the size it's about the type of muscle fibers, you might be naturally fast because you have good fast-twitch muscles, some people have genetically more and others need to train each muscle group a lot to achieve them. Even in world class athletes this can take a long time.
Take a look at our relatives, a male or female chimpanzee pound for pound is about 1.5x stronger than a man and 2x stronger than a woman. Why? Because Chimps have about 70% fast-twitch muscles compared to 40% for humans.
