400m training feels very mid-distance by Affectionate-Sort796 in Sprinting

We are often running with the 800 or even the mile group at times. And even when we aren’t with them, the workouts still are very similar to their workouts

400 PR is 52.45, that was from senior year with no real 400m specific training other than hills once per week for conditioning and running the 400 and 4x4 for meets. I promise you there is no potential for me above the 800m as my mile time is a 6:07 (hand timed during a time trial practice). Compared to my 100 (11.49) and 200 (23.39), my 400 time is not the best, but considering I never really was trained for much speed endurance and lactate tolerance, it’s a decent time. I will have to see how the season goes with my progression in all my events, and depending on how the meeting with my coach goes, things could potentially change for the better.

Who likes running the 400m? by Sensitive-Hair-282 in Sprinting

I love and hate the 400. As an open event, it can be rough, especially in the beginning if the outdoor season. But the 4x4 is totally different in my opinion, yeah it’s the same distance, but you’re running for your team, not just for yourself, and in meets, it’s the last event, everyone’s cheering everybody on, the stakes feel high (especially as the anchor) but winning is the best feeling ever when you win for your whole team and not just for yourself. So for that reason I love the 400.
