Lol at my luck. I tweaked my ankle last night at home, on the doormat, leaving to drive to the petrol station

Beware the variance in the macros on the labels. It is not trivial. It's almost great enough to make logging at this level sort of useless if you eat a lot of labeled food... They only way you can really log food is if your diet consists mostly of rice and chicken breasts.... Like a bodybuilder...
You should search for similar footage from Russia
Well, speed is a manifestation of quickness combined with strength. Where strength is non needed, you have "quickness" (for example, how many spacebar key strokes can you get in 10 seconds? The best I got was 110, I think). That's quickness. Speed is a manifestation of quickness + strength, or quickness + the force to overcome your own bodyweight to express that quickness. That's it.
Now, the movements in which you express that "speed" better or worse depend on the muscle strength that these movements depend upon, your natural quickness (CNS quickness), the muscle strength ratios and your movement efficiency in that particular movement (how often did you practice it with proper form).
So if you feel like you need speed... well... why don't you do sprints while also continuing to improve the posterior chain in the gym? Other than that, all these low level plyos that I suggested are reactive in nature, but submax, so the strength part plays less importance but the "quickness" part (CNS) plays more importance (trying to emphasize low ground contact times, even if you don't get up or forward maximally).
Combine training like this with the strength you get from the weight room and you get speed.
