400M time: 59.20 hand timed by myself, 59.58 hand timed by another person with me

Commentary or other info: This was on 9/12/16 just after David Rudisha had run 56.9 for 500m at the GreatNorth City Games. Some friends and I were talking and wondering if any of us could run 400m in the time it took him to run 500m. I was the only one who tried, it was a spur of the moment Monday evening after work. I was confident I could run at least under 58 (clearly wrong) and when I hit 29.high at halfway I new it was all over.

When with the LATC, 1963-66, we trained at Dorsey HS and climbed the fence in the mornings.

Not a 400 but my fitness center had a challange a couple weeks ago. 15% incline at 6 minute pace. Jump on and go as long as you can. It's like the last 200 of a mile if you go all out. Your legs start getting rubbery and hard to keep up with the belt. Then your breathing goes but you want to just get one more second. You have to decide when to jump off or the belt would take you off the back.

I made it 33 seconds.

Treadmill calculator says that is 3:34/mile pace (about 27 second 200)

Seriously doubt I could run faster than a 33 200 on the track.

Did you win the challenge?

I didn't officially enter since there were only two others who did it but I beat them by a couple seconds. I'm the only serious runner there. I tried it a second time after 3 minutes rest but only made it 30 seconds.

Did a couple of relays for club.

Nobody put the splits up and I felt so slow I didn't bother to ask. First was low level on grass hour after 10km race.

Having gone from under 11st to over 14st 145 - 200 plus barely any training dropped 10km from 33 to 55 Thought could still handle 400m but was jogging after 300m. Nobody posted splits and I knew it was bad so didn't find out.

Next one was on track track night just our club hobbyjoggers. Did 100m first in 15.5 2 seconds down on best. Was shocked but not helped by HS strain at 60m still would have been over 15

Paced 400m better held relay lead but really lost race as 2nd team closed and beat our guy last leg.

Again no time Id guess 75.

PB was 59 in race although somehow split same time in 800m.

If I ran one now I'd pull HS especially in winter

Started coaching as perpetually injured 10 years ago.

Main reason weight gain from injury getting married does not help;

400m: 69.64 FAT timed indoors in January. 5x400m in 98, 98, 96, 89, and 71 three weeks later.

This thread is meaningless without at least also knowing a person's 200m time as well.

Foot of snow on my local track and Larry Rawson hasn't returned my calls, so nothing to report.

Haven't run a hard 400 in years. It hurt.

I'm going to have a go at this in a few weeks when I've at least done some running. Just been ill /injured so crazy to try in cold at moment.

Commentary or other info: Didn't plan on this. Ran 6 miles @7:13 avg. The weather was beautiful for change and the track was clear so I gave it a shot...none of my usual pre-race/workout routine. Just walk up to the line and went. Hit 200m in 33..so pretty even.

Also I have only been running 3 weeks after a 3 month injury layoff.

I've taken a step back from serious running, as I leave for deployment in 4 months. Now I'm focused on a more balanced fitness plan. Hitting upper body about 4 times a week, and running is a nice mixture of sprints and short-moderate length (4-6 mile) runs 5-6 times a week.

Can I do this on a treadmill? There's lots of snow where I live and Martha Stewart and I have hung up our spikes until May.

I ran a hilly 12 miles at 8:06 pace yesterday morning. I wasn't very fresh for this run. I jogged a mile to the track, took a lap where I did a stride on the straights and walked the curves, stretched for a moment and then let it rip.

The last hundred meters I sounded like a rubber duck with a broken squeaker and I felt like I was leaning so far backward that I would have been a limbo champion.

Ok here goes my report. It finally stopped raining for @ least an hour around 3:30pm this afternoon. It was still cloudy and maybe high 50s-early 60s. So leading up to this weekend, I only ran this past Tues (6miles) and yesterday (3 miles) on treadmill @ gym and weights. Other times I've been busy @ work and I've been packing including today.

So I decided to go over to my old stopping ground, the local track ( I recently moved). No one else there, thank goodness. I did 1 mile warm up, then 4x100 strides. Since someone asked about a 200 (.13)time, I decided to do one and did it in 38.32 sec. Then I walked a 200 and proceeded to do the 400 (.26) in 85.45 sec. Then 1 mile cool down. It hurt like you know what but I was glad I did the challenge...thanks LetsRun for motivating me to hurt just for a short period...😅
