Question

I need some serious help with the 400 dash and 800 run. I run the 400 in 1:11 and my 800 is 3 something. I need any tips/help I can get because its only halfway through the season and we have 6 meets left..and county+state. Help please!

Answer 1

First of all are you a boy or a girl? If your a girl that 400 time isent that bad, but if your a boy you need some work.

The 400 is basically a endurance sprint, which you need to carefully use your enegry to spread for the whole run.

hears a workout plan that has been really successfull for me:

Monday: Long distance 40 minute run

Tueday: Endurance weight high reps low weights

Wednesday:4 400 repeats

Thurday:1 400 all out and 2 100's

Friday: is usally competition

Hope this works

Answer 2

Your 400 and 800 times drop off is quite significant, so your endurance might be something to work on. If you run 400 meters and 800 meters, you might want to alternate sprints and distance workouts.

Answer 3
