Too anaerobic? Which one? The longer the effort the more aerobic it becomes. Old skool coaches still haven't figured this out yet.
some people are just very bad with words, even if they grasp the concept of what is happening
The old belief is that if you are breathing hard, you have "gone anaerobic" when really the early effort is catching up with you.
The best way to run hard 400s is to get yourself one heck of a warm up. It's really interesting though that it's possible to psyche yourself up into this zone of readiness. But it's also possible to psyche yourself out of a hard workout or race just by worrying about it.
