Im really inconsistent in the 400?

Question

im an eighth grade girl, and i run for middle school and high school. at the middle school meets i'll run maybe a 67-70 second 400, but at the high school meets i'll run a 64-67. how can i become more consistent? is this because there is no one to push me in the middle school meets?

Answer 1

yes having someone to run with makes running easier

you have to remember, running is half mental

Answer 2

Just pretend ur at the middle school. It will work . Trust me.

Good Luck

Yeah, I would say that is what it is.. Maybe you know that you have to give more at the high school meet because the competition is better. You have to figure out how you can run the best race and just do it all the times you run the four. I would always sprint the first hundred then go down to about 80% on the back stretch then go to about 90% on the 3rd 100 and then sprint like there is no tomorrow on the last hundred and I consitantly put out a 50-52 when I was in high school.
