Can anyone here run a 400 faster than 57 seconds at a body weight over 190? Sucks when real athletes show you all up huh?

You’re the only person who films themselves running mediocre times. If you’ve read any of the posts on this thread you’re aware that you’re 400 time would be considered average for a middle school boy. It’s not impressive by any means. Crossfit “athletes” are not good at running, comparing yourself to them is like saying you’re the tallest midget.

Matt - you’re not fast. Your time isn’t good. Get over it.

We have a 100m sprinter at 5’10 200lbs go 52.99 in the 400. Was a workout meet for him. But please don’t count it because he was black and you are white I guess or whatever reasoning you have. I love the mental gymnastics.

“ Plus he's from India so he is naturally going to have high testosterone and an extreme amount of fast twitch tendons and ligaments. ”

What are you talking about???

1) He’s not from India.

2) Where did this stereotype come from?

Rich Froning 5 time or something crossfit individual champion in the world and 3 time team champion has a PR of 1:00 at 5'11 and 195.

He wins every single event at every crossfit games. Most of the training is 400 meter dash type training.

Why can't he run faster than 1:00 in the 400? I know why. It's called it's extremely diffulcult to run a 400 meter dash at that bodyweight.

First, our friend Matt is not 6’ tall... go check out his IG account (same user name, not private) ... he’s 5’8” on his best day!! Second 57 seconds isn’t anything to write home about. Many fit people can post a time similar to this... here’s the hook Matt!! I am 6’1”, 210 (love beer) and run 1-min 400 repeats weekly... could easily get under 57 seconds for an ‘all out’ effort!! Point is; I’m not special and you sure as hell aren’t!!! Go find some other place to post your tiny guy rants!!

It’s not difficult, you’re just not good at running. Neither are crossfit athletes.

I could have probably done that at age 54 if I tried.

But who thinks about such things then. 57 seconds for a 400 is slow even if you weigh 190.

I'm 5-9

Fred Kerley is listed at 6’3” 205lbs, that’s 15 pounds over and 14 seconds faster.

Plus nobody really cares what Kerley runs.

Nobody cares about you unless you're hot.

Who's hotter? Me or Kerley? EXACTLY.

It's called the Neilsens measure of marketability.

Who would look hotter on the cover of ESPN magazine? Me or Kerley? EXACTLY.

I mean I don't even have to try and I would blow Kerley out of the water in terms of overall hotness levels.

This picture alone would win me millions of dollars in endorsements through Nike, Adidas, Reebok...etc.

Do you really think Nike cares about promoting Kerley? Ask yourself that. No they don't. They just promote him because they have to.

No wonder Nike and other sponsors barely give any money to track athletes. Nobody cares about them. No wonder Nick Symmonds complains about how track athletes barely make anything. Well when you have Fred Kerleys running around setting all the WRs then it gets to the point that nobody really gives a crap anymore.

Bottomline is this. Either run hot or don't run at all. Either sprint hot or don't sprint at all. Sucks that Kerley is that fast and that strong but he forgot one important aspect. And that's hotness levels.

Sorry about his luck.

Great. Post your youtube page here. Show us all your 1 min 400 repeats with 5 mins rest in between at a full 6'1 and 210.

Then to celebrate drink a beer afterwards for us all in the video.

Back up your claims with an actual youtube page.

So far nobody on letsrun.com in the past 7 years of me asking was able to provide one simple youtube page.

NOBODY.

I might have asked over 2,100 people at this point. Pathetic.

Leave it, in your interest. Clearly, there are many who are much better, as the statistics prove. 57s and 190 is not unusual. Your video proves absolutely nothing. We can see a man running a lap, not stopping where he started and then holding up a stopwatch that is not sure if it was used correctly.

Even if it is offtopic: Peter Greif, 41 years, 6.39 feet, 190.69 lbs, marathon in 2:24.

Lol Matt you’re so pathetic. You’re slow and unattractive

You’re neither fast, strong, nor hot. that’s why you’re all alone bragging about these mediocre times

Seriously, he has learning difficulties - I know a kid who sounds exactly like him and he's in special/remedial school. With either him or matt_london you can tell the moment they open their mouths. So probably the best thing is not to make fun - either be kind or be quiet. And yes, I posted a mild sarcastic comment earlier.

Yeah, the guy is messed up.

No one tries to compete with what he is doing because it is not impressive.

Sure, you are white, tall enough, and more athletic than a sedentary person.

There are so many people better than you across every category - taller, smarter, better looking, more athletic.

An example of someone taller, stronger, better looking and more athletic than you is Trey Hardee.

Here is a video of him running 48.11 for 400m at a body weight of 210.

So, how many millions have you got out of endorsements?

Ah, just saw he has a height requirement, too.

Look, 53.x at 6' and 210 is good. You are talented.

I bet 80% of letsrun people could run faster than all crossfit athletes. That is a stupid comparison. For globally athletic people, look at decathletes, who outdo you.

You have something like sub-elite talent at your specialty. Probably almost everyone else here has at least that, as well.

You are also hyper-weird. No one cares. You are not the best. You are okay and older. People care if you have a decent job, take care of yourself and are decent, socially. And not weird.

Go to NYC where there will be someone taller, better looking, richer, smarter and more successful than you everywhere you go. Most people.

It is like you are narrowing requirements until you have people exactly like you, where you are among a few. Pros are better than you. People of different body types are better than you. Are you trying to argue you are the best globally athletic person who is not a pro? You are decent. You obviously are not as good as the top professional athletes, even if you lost weight. And retired decathletes look better, are stronger and probably are still faster.

Plenty of heros on letsrun. We all make 250k+, are smart, are in shape, have attractive wives, ...

He's above 210 but the height factor then comes into play.

That's pencil neck weight for that height. And it's evident with his pencil neck quads, upper quads, and calves.

If I was 6'5 I would have been 244 pounds when I ran this.

This 48.11 would be impressive if Trey was 6'5 and 236 and above but seeing that he's 210 and below then it's not.

Look at how long his stride is.

Do you really think Trey is stronger than me?

No he's not.

And i'm hotter.

Every elite decathlete is better than you at everything.

Why does this guy want videos? Is he, you know. We have provided names of several college and professional runners who have run 45 seconds at that weight. He can look it up.
