When you are doing repeat 400s don't stop at the 400 meter mark push through with everything you have about 50 meters past the finish line. Also if you are running repeat 400s stop at the finish line for 10 seconds and than go all out for 100 meters. You should repeat these 8 times. It is a tough workout but it has really great results. Good luck.

The 400m event needs special training at the slower 400m race speed. The ability to relax and use little energy is important at race pace.

Some sessions to improve performance in the 400m are:

- 10 x Flying 100m at 400m race pace rest 2min

- 4 x 200m at 400m pace rests jog slowly back to start of 200 then rest 2 min.

- 2 x 300 at 400m race pace rest 5min between

- 400m athletes should also do more endurance training and can get by with more jogging especially in the off season. Maximum speed training is also of high importance.

It is important to have good foot function and for this reason it is useful for athletes to spend as much time as possible barefoot. Walking on sand is very good. Training should be conducted in very light simple shoes. Racing flats from the Runners Shop are much better than joggers for training in.

Be sure to work your abs almost every day. Planks, crunches, and leg lifts. Variety!
