Great I'm glad you enjoyed this, I hope it helps your next race.

Where were you, in 1973, when I needed you?! Oh, yeah, you weren't born yet. As a senior, in high school, I couldn't get under 51 seconds to save my life. A new assistant coach came to the team, at the beginning of outdoor season, asked me my best time for the 440, and looked at me, incredulously, when I told him. He had me run a 220, at the next meet, then came up with a game plan. Hold back on the first 220, going out around 23.4, then during practice, had me do 220 "fartleks", so I could run sub 26, no matter how tired I was. When he told me I ran 49.1, his next words were, I should have been a half miler. I love your videos.

Haha great story! Always love that one coach who puts things into perspective and teaches you just a few tricks to level up your game. No doubt about it if KZread and I were around in 1973 this video would have found you just in time 😆

i always get videos like this right before a track meet 😹

Having a complex race strategy like this made me run significantly slower than my potential. Once I changed my strategy to simply “run the damn race”, I instantly dropped from a 56 to a 51.

Thanks Chase. Interesting to hear the different ways that good runners and coaches interpret the 400. I personally like to execute a "push or slingshot" out of the first 100 maybe even to 120. It's really not a reaccell but more to maintain speed well into the straight so when I float it feels super relaxed. Essentially the same concept but just conceptualize differently. Like you said that last 100 is going to be bad times for most of us so getting to that point fast makes alot of sense. Looking forward to seeing more of your sprinting content. Would love to hear your take on special endurance and what workouts you like and how many weeks you like to train that energy system.

Thank you I’m glad you found it helpful. I learned all of this from my mentor who I continue to coach under and learn from. His knowledge of the sport is crazy and I am hoping one day I will know as much as him. In addition to the many years of sprints & jumps training, I have been learning from him on how to train athletes for the 800 and 1600. I don’t make videos on it because I have never personally competed in them but one day I hope to be able to share knowledge of what I am learning from those. One of the things I am learning from him is that a lot of the fundamentals I went over in this video is true for both the 800m and 1600m. The rest changes and the total distance per workout changes but the fundamentals stay the same. And in both of those races, speed is very very important. Which is what you see over the last lap of the 1600 and the last 250 of the 800m. Good luck!

I understand. I have found that the 'just run' method is hard for athletes, especially after running a 200m and gassing out at the 150. That makes the 400m seem impossible and they end up jogging 300m and sprinting the last 100m. For my athletes not only does having a basic strategy help, but implementing the strategy into training makes it so they do not have to overthink.

This video will be very useful because I have to run 4x400 a few days from now and last 4x400 race I had I ran out of energy so quickly!

Yes Good luck out there. Just remember you can never make up time, so if you get out slow its impossible to make up for lost time. The 400 is an experiment you will have some races in which you get out too fast and die at the end and some races where you get out too slow and finish with a lot of energy. The more 400s you run the better you will know when you're pushing too hard and when you are too relaxed.

Hi yes relaxing arms until the last 100 meters can help. Really pump your arms during the last 100. At this point in the race everyone feels the same fatigue. The key to finishing strong is using your arms and keeping your stride turnover. Do not let yourself break form and get really slow with your turnover. Good luck I hope this helps your next race.

Just a question, Why is it that when I go out at 90 percent I die out at the end 50m, but when I run conservative like 80-85 percent at the start, and glide into smooth acceleration on the straight, I feel like I have so much more energy to kick at the last 200-150. When I have the energy to kick there it seems like it carries over to the last 100! I'm a cross country based runner running 52-53 in 9th grade (fat timed), Are there different strategies for different backgrounds and body types?

@chasewheels

2 ай бұрын

Hi Richard that is a great question. The answer is yes different backgrounds will have different strategies. I will also add that because you are a cross-country-based runner this is why 90% effort really gases your tank versus 80% effort. Whereas a true sprinter can cruise 90% a bit more effortlessly due to their hyper-specific training. Although small percentage-wise, there is a big difference between 90% and 80% in energy expenditure. What you're used to is more of a longer-distance style race. The problem with this is as soon as the gun goes off the time does not slow down just because we decide to run slower. My coach used to say you can't make up time. Meaning if I get out slower, then the time is wasted. If you remember what I said about true sprinters when they get out 90% they have not wasted time. If they have been well trained they will be able to finish strong as well so there is a less likely chance you will be able to catch them. If you are interested in seeing what 400 mete training looks like I have a course releasing very soon. Stay tuned.

Hi I can't say it is impossible but it does seem unlikely. It depends on what state you live in and what your goals are. If I had to guess you need to run 51.0 or below to be considered to walk on to college track teams. It is never too late. You can always train through this year, run for two years at a community college, and see where 3 years of consistent hard work and dedication will take you. Cross-country will not help your 400. Maybe you want to explore distance running as well and see if you like sprinting or distance better. Good luck!

@chasewheels

3 ай бұрын

Great question. The 800 is a completely different ball game. If you notice there’s never a 400/800 champion but there is often a 200/400 champion. While the 800 is by no means a slow race and is probably one of the toughest races on the track, it requires a different energy system in our body that the 100,200,400 don’t use. So training for the 800 will lead to a slower 400 time than if you trained 200/400, assuming the 400 is your strongest race. Conversely training for the 400 can improve your 800 but not the other way around. That’s why ‘short sprints’ stop at 400 and the 800 is not considered a sprint (again I know they are running very fast for each lap).

My problem is when I get downhill from that curve at the end, I loose form and my legs start shaking and wobbling. How can I fix this l?

@chasewheels

But 300,400,500 repeats are not working speed endurance, it is just endurance. 400 and 500 repeats will not help you finish the 400m strong because you will be teaching your body to run slow. You want to program your body to run faster further. The way you do this is with higher intensity, longer distance, longer rest. I do not recommend doing repeats of anything over 350s. A great workout to teach you speed endurance could be 5x250 at 90-95% with 10-12min rest. This style workout is programming your body on to repetitively run at high speeds. This is leads to speed endurance. If you do not allow long enough rest or go for a distance that is too long you will be programming your body to run far at slow speeds. I have other speed endurance workouts in my speed endurance program that will teach you how to properly train speed endurance.

The 800 is no joke!. I had a freind who was training for coast guards who asked me for the same thing (how to train for a 1.5 mile test). While i have enough knowledge of all running events to come up with a decent training routine, anything over 400 meters is out of my expertise so I would not feel comfortable making a public video about it. The advice I can give is to to 2-3 days per week of overspeed training. This is training at a pace faster than the pace you need during your test but for a shorter distance. Ex. learn to run one lap fast, then two laps. Work your way up to running a mile well below pace. Then have a few days per week as recovery or longer distance days at a slower pace. How this helps!

Great question. I was taught to first build a strong running base. This will include things such as 2-mile runs (sprint the straights jog the turn), bleachers and hill work, and 300m repeats. You want your training to reassemble the QUALITY and the efforts you want to exert during your 400m race. For example, your 300 repeats should be done at or near 85% full speed with adequate rest (8-10min). This is a good workout and can be done for 6-8 repeats of 300m.

Ha! 400 is always hurts. I’m not sure many people who want to run it

Best way to approach the 400m.. no point going flat out to the first 50-70m because you will die at around 250m. I would say 90-92% .. so if your pb is 10.5 you want to run your first 100m in 11.4-11.5s.. If your pb is 11.5-11.6.. you want to go in around 12.5-12.8s. Irs always about the finish in a 400m, not the start. Its not a 60m. Id even say the same thing in 100m.. you can have a great start and lead for 50m-60m.. but 8/10 times, the others have greater top end speed and catch you.. Usain bolt never had an insane start, but his top end was unmatched. Infact, that goes the same with Justin gatlin.. at his last World championships when he won it. In lane 1.

yup, I agree. I would say the difference between the 400 and the 100 is you do want to get out at 100% in the 100 but you want to work your 100-meter phases completely. In the 100 there is no time to go 90%. Instead, focus on the drive phase and transition so that you reach your max speed at the correct part of the race. Max speed is only achieved in the upright running motion therefore your drive phase should be about 30 meters to avoid reaching max speed too soon. People who fade in the 100 meter dash are either no strong enough to finish and/or have reached their max speed too soon. I explain this in my 100 meter race strategy video as well.

What i meant is, which I can refer to Maurice greene.. he said, you sort of want to use as little energy, but be as powerful as possible. So yeah, the drive phase is that build up phase, to maximum velocity. You don't want to go basically old school and go straight up into your upright position. Because you'd of reached your top end way to early, whilst the others will just run away from you.. hence the 30m drive phase which is the build up. The 400m is a different school of fish. you can in ways afford to slowly build up to your race pace. Which will save you energy in the later part of the race. But not to slow, if you get my drift.

I told my coach as a long jumper, i wanted to be a competent sprinter. As decent long jumper, should also be a decent sprinter, the faster you sprint, the further you jump. So in ways your 100m pb would correlate to how far you jump in the long jump. You would know, because you was a very good long jumper and a decent sprinter as well :-)

Nice i started at 12 and am now 32. The long jump was my best event and once again you are correct. The sprints are so important for the jumps. There’s never been a great jumper that cannot sprint! I am going to start making jump videos soon once I finish with the sprint videos. I’d love to help your journey anyway I can

We need one for indoor

lol it will definitely help your 100m!

I run 400m hurdles and it's even more complicated.

400m hurdles may be the hardest race on the track. Either that or the 800m

@@chasewheels it's really different, you have to have the energy to go over the last hurdle, so you have to manage the energy much more smartly than in 400 normal

@@tracc_dak4660 I understand. You seem to be doing the right things. Not many athletes go out on their own looking to improve. If you can surround yourself with some 44 second guys it will probably help you drop time quickly. Continue to be a student of the game and you’ll be fine. Can’t wait to see you compete in the Olympics and worlds. Good luck!

Man this is far from what I do. I usually get out as fast as I can until about 90 meters in and then slow down to about 85% during the beginning of the backstretch. Then at about 170 meters into the race I pick it up to 100% and just try to maintain that through the whole thing. I'll make sure to try this other method next.

People use different methods, some video says that you sprint the first 50 then float.

Hi your current race strategy actually sounds very similar to the method I said in the video. If you do find yourself not being able to finish strong then try to remain relaxed at the beginning of the race when you are getting out for the first 90 meters. Otherwise I would say your strategy is very good. As you become familiar with the race and your pace you can begin experimenting with how much you can push each section. For example, maybe on the back stretch you can maintain 90% instead of 85% which will lead to a faster time.
