Has anyone tired doing two shorter runs in place of a long run, Does it work as well?
try to run faster,but all ways keep your eyes ahead,concentate that you can doit ,don't look around.What is the distance in miles for 400 meters?
Yes, it's possible, but only if you discipline yourself to train hard every day. You need to run every day to build up your endurance, and you need to do some intervals to build up leg speed. If you do that, you should have no trouble dropping significant time by next year. The key is hard work. You can't expect to be able to drop time without working for it. Good luck!What are the food supplementry should be taken by an athelet ?
The mile is the perfect blend on distance running, and sprinting. You are going to have to build your distance base out to at least 6 mi / day 4 days a week, and run a LOT of 1/4 mi. intervals. If you can get your hands on the movie "FOUR MINUTE MILE", that tells the story of the race for the 4 min. mi. by Michael Landon, Roger Banister, and 2 others, you can get a LOT of info. on training. Also I would think you will need a long run 10 to 15 mi. , once a week or so. BUILD UP SLOWLY!! It won't do your goal any good to get injured!! CHEERS! Can you? YES, but you'll sweat some! :)Anyone have good tips for the triple jump?
It is easy to drop your time. You have to go as fast as you can for as long as you can, and then keep building up so you can run a mile as fast as possible. I am in 8th grade an i run a 4:55 mile and a 19:49 5k.How hard should I push myself at practice right before a meet?
mile -- the first lap should be fast.try & get a good start, but not a fast one.
you want to go about 5-10 secs. slower than your 400 time
(ex. 63sec. = 69 sec.)
the second lap you should still be moving fast
& not quite a long stride yet.
the time should be about 10-15 sec.
slower than your first lap
(ex. 69 + 13 = 82sec. for second lap
& total 2:31)
now your third lap will be the hardest part.
just keep moving fast at the speed
of about your second lap in an 800m.
last lap to go.
in the begining of the lap start to go faster.
but at a good pace.
when you hit that 150 mark, start to go faster,
but good pace & long stride, fast legs & arms.
last 100 try to be aggresive with the arms.
your almost done.
tips -- try to make sure you have good form.
it helps alot. just move your arms fast
& at a good pace
Whats the best way to handle pressure before a race.?
It is definitely possible. I'm no running expert but I went from being a fat 270 pound guy to finishing marathons and performing respectably at road races. I've put on a little weight recently, but that's neither here nor there. I have a mile PR of 527 and I ran that by doing a lot of quarter mile repeats. They're awful when you are doing them but you run them hard and they prepare you. Many times I would do 4 or 5 miles of these, resting every 4th one with a light jog and taking 30 seconds between repeats. 518 is pretty darn fast but I really feel the 400s and some fast 800s in training can get you there.How do I get over runners knee- do I keep running?
Definitely at least 45 seconds. The key is training. I ran the mile in 4 and a half minutes. It's not a distance race and its not a sprint, but more an enduring, fast foot race. Really long distances and really short sprints won' t drop your time. Try repeat, consistent 400 meter runs. You average 94 seconds, so try twice per week to run 4 individual laps at 85 seconds each. Rest 60 seconds between each.This will build your enduring, fast pace. Once you are cosistently hitting 85 seconds, you will get to know that pace and you will be able to tell how fast you are running without a clock. Later, drop to 80 and 75 secs. This type of training helps you set and keep your pace in the race.
