In my 400 today, I went all out from the start. But after a 300 or so, my legs died and locked up. Then, I tripped because one of my legs wouldnt respond, and fell onto the ground. I walked off the track, and had no time.
How can I prevent his from happening again? (As in pacing, strategy, etc.)
Fyi Im a distance runner in a heat with a bunch of sprinters
finish the race next time bud
if you really were a distance runner you would not that we tough it out and finish all races where it is safe to do so.
you obviously need to work on speed, and maybe not go out as fast.

Simple. Instead of going out at 100%, go out at 99%. If that doesn't work, go out at 98%. Keep going until you keep control of your legs and bodily functions for the whole 400.
I'll give you some secret but truly advanced advice: don't go all out from the start.
go 85% for the first 100, then go 95%. The final straightaway is all guts, form, and training.
What a puss! FINISH THE EFFIN' RACE!
The 4 Ps of the 400 for each 100 meters: Push, Pace, Position, Pray.
Did you get a battle scar?
Hope you're alright!
Practice some hundred yard sprints after each workout at 80%. Do them on both turns and straights. Work on your former.
Good Luck!
