Is 1min 29 secs good 400 m time for a 12 year old?

Question

I was wondering if 1 min 29 was a good time for a 12 year old, it was the first time ive ever timed myself. Also i wonder if i can improve?

Answer 1

no its not good. you can improve. keep running sprints and buy a parachute packin g thing from adidas

Answer 2

That time is pretty good, I just turned 15 and I run the 400m in 55.1

Answer 3

its ok not great

Answer 4

Not the greatest time, but you can probably improve if you work at it.

Just to give you an idea, I'm 13 years old and can run the 400 in 67 seconds, but my real race is the 800.

Answer 5

You can always improve.

Thats the way it works.

Nothing changes without something improving.

And if nothing ever changed butterflies wouldn't exist.

Answer 6

im 11 and i can run 1:15

Answer 7

that time is ok im 13 and i run it in 1 min and 10 seconds, you can improve by working on your speed and also working on your enderance.

Answer 8

Honestly, no...it's kinda slow. 65-70 seconds would be a good time for someone your age.

Just keep working at it. Your speed will improve with time and practice.

Answer 9

Not really, Its ok, but you should be at like 1:15.

Im 14 and i run the 400 in 1:03

Answer 10

Hey it is not a fantastic time but there are lots of people who wouldnt be able to do that. Espically if you had to turn around that is very hard and will lose you alot of time and stop you from, getting into a rhytm. It is very hard to judge as you can do much faster.

You really need to run on a proper track. i reckon you can get 1:15 which isnt bad, then train hard and you can get even faster. Also dont just limit yourself to the 400m your only 12 so try lots of events and you never no you might find one you r even better at.

Good luck
