In highschool I did: 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500, 3000 in different years. I was primarily a mid-distance runner but did sprinting for fun in my senior year. Hardest to easiest: 800, 1500, 400, 3000, 200, 100. The hardest event on the track is 400 meter hurdles imo, never did it but you see guys get absolutley dead after the race. But the second is definetly 800m, you're expected to keep your 400m pace but double your distance which is ridiculous.

OMFGLOLROTFLWTF You're not expected to keep your 400m pace at all. Whoever told you this is very wrong! Haha. For a well trained runner you are looking at a 4 second lag over two laps. i.e. 46.0 for 400m equates to 1:40.0 for 800m (50.0 seconds per lap). This is pretty much a standard protocol for up to the 10,000m.

Just watching 400's makes me nauseous. Had to run two per meet in high school, and the 4x400 was directly after 200m finals. The pain coming out of the second turn is unholy. Feels like death every time. Never competed in the 800, but I'm sure that's savage as well. Let's keep it honest on here though, some guys are commenting that the 800 is harder because you're expected to run 400m pace. Clearly that's bullshit, and physically impossible. If you're dying from lactic acid by 36 seconds, how do you intend to run the next 500m? If man could physically sustain that pace, the WR in 800m would be roughly 1:27... not fucking happening.

It's a shame he didn't continue training for the 400. He could have done the 100, 200, and 400. He probably would be really good at the 400 had he kept at it.

Everyone saying the 400m is the hardest event but they don't realize every distance event has a similar final lap. The 1600 is significantly harder simply for the fact that the last 400m effort is preceded by 3 high intensity laps. No hate on 400 dudes tho they are tough as nails

Was a 200 M and relay specialist, but I HATED the 400 M. I did not have the explosivity for 100, but had good top speed. There is a mental factor; 400 M is a more tactical race. 100 and 200 are all out brute force races. Also, pure sprinters (IMO) are a bit psycho/adhd (I was). My upmost respect for 800 M runners, the toughest race there is.

Name of the song being played?

Good job my yuth

When I was 15, I ran in a 400m final not knowing that I had been entered in it, nor that my main event, the 100m, was directly afterward. Basically I was being shafted to stop me winning the 100m. After the 400m, my nose was running like two taps, and I could hardly stand. fifteen minutes later my legs were still like jelly. I ran the 100m and clocked my slowest time ever, slower by a full second. It takes about an hour to recover from the 400m, because if run properly, you should have nothing left by the time you reach the home straight. You shouldn't be able to accelerate any faster at 300m. In the 800m you run it so you can Sprint the last 100m. The 400m is the toughest race of all.

I always wondered if THe Big U could have pulled off the amazing Olympics Triple Crown of sprinting with 100, 200, and the toughest race in all of track besides the steeplechase. Flo Jo showed her great versatility in almost gutting out 400-meter anchor leg victory in the relay vs. Russian Olympic champ but in the end, she faded against 400-meter power. Perhaps Lighting Bolt could have been a thunderstorm in the 400 as well. It seemed like he didn't even use his 5th gear at all in this easy win against so-so comp. But he is perhaps the greatest champion of our century including TB-12, Phelps, and all those tennis legends as well as the PED-stoked Lance Armstrong, who was a magnificent champion with guts, guile and grit to roll over his fellow two-wheeled cheaters.

If bolt stuck to the 400m man would have ran 42.9

Perfect example of lactic acid buildup and effects of fatigue

400m is tricky. Not short enough to just sprint it out , not long enough to gradually increase your speed.

I ran the 400m and 200m in high school. The 400m is no joke. It's basically a full sprint around the track. So it takes everything out of you for sure. If Bolt had really wanted to be a 400m runner in the past, he could have done really well. Probably broke records. He has the height and the stride for it. Plus he is a 200m runner. He knows how to come around the turns and he would have that kick for the final stretch. Great run.

I see allot of comments on here arguing if the 400m or the 800m is harder. The truth is it depends on the individual athlete. If your more of a natural middle distance runner the 800 would be easier than the 400. If your more of a natural sprinter the 800 will be harder than the 400. I specialised in the 200 and for me the 800 was harder than the 400.

You can’t dedicate yourself to both sprints and 400m at the same time in my opinion, because of the endurance side to the 400m. High twitch muscles produce lactic acid very quickly after 200. Bolt would have the world record now though if it was his first choice
