How Gym Training Impacts on Running Speed

Good day.
First, it's necessary to consider what the speed is and factors which it depends on. In my opinion, the speed, in its purest form (results an athlete have in sprinter distance races), depends on whether or not a sportsman has speed and power abilities. Partly, these abilities are determined by genetic predisposition (structure of muscle tissue and ratio of so called white and red fibers in this structure) and partly, it depends on a training plan.
But in the context of the question, if I understand you right, you say about some running speed on sections far from sprint ones. So here, speed and power trainings (including gym trainings) should have a positive effect on speed possibilities of an athlete. The question is that high average speed depends not so much on the speed and power component as the development of functional abilities of a body, if we say about an endurance run.
In other words, I can say that gym trainings have no harm to the speed and even in contrast can foster its development.
