What is the best technique for running the 400m?
is there any special thing you need to do. such as take off for a certain distance and just go all out the other, breathing, arm movement, etc.
Answers:
The 400 is by far the toughest event, you really need to learn an all out pace the entire way without killing yourself...basically, you need to practice and find your own method that will maximize your times, there is no magic strategy
What worked best for me was to go almost all out for the first 200 and then just keep running.
Has anyone tired doing two shorter runs in place of a long run, Does it work as well?
easy, create less drag my lowering your head and pumping your legs. stay on your toes and never look backid say to start out fast for the first 100/200 meters then get your pace then sprint again at the end. thats not really my way of doing it but it works for alot of people. if you want to win you pretty much have to give it your all in that race. good luck

Accelerate through the first 100, run fast but relaxed the next 200, concentrate on holding your form together the last 100.You don't want to run an all-out sprint at any point -- you can't maintain it. If you can key on other runners in the middle of the race, you can get an idea of how much you can relax without falling back.
A lot of runners find it useful to concentrate on a slightly exaggerated arm swing the last 50. When you legs are dead, it's easier to think about moving your arms. And since your arms and legs are synchronized, you legs go along with your arms.
Is there a limit just how fast a can human run a mile?
the most important thing is to save ^ energy for the last 100 meters. another important thing is to go a tiny bit slower on the curves and sprint you heart out on the straightaways. also , ALWAYS eat an hour,or 30 min b4 your raceI think the 400 is the toughest event. You really have to be sprinting. I think the trick is to sprint almost all out, but just hold back a tiny little bit. This gives you a psychological advantage because you feel like you're not going all out, but you're still actually going pretty fast.
I'd also reccomend getting spikes if you don't have em. I just got mine and they are amazing
