Answer 1

Second lap of a 400m track? You need more endurance to run like that. If you're running 800m at race pace then you need to run at least twice that to get your body used to running that DISTANCE. So running a couple miles will help make it easier to run the 800m faster and better. Lifting can help to make your upper body stronger. Which makes you a stronger runner essentially. Being hydrated properly will help make you a better runner too. Email me if you have any more questions.
