i am trying to do like 400x15....problem is if i try to do my repeats arpund 1:14 then it tires me around 4 or 5 reps, so i do it around 1:18 ......will 1:14 eventually feel easier in the coming months or do i need to do some faster 200m repeats to get comfortable with faster reps?
where are all the LR super coaches when i need them
if you continue to train you will get faster!
Absolutely.
15x400m is one of my favorite workouts and yes over time you will get faster.
As an intermediate step you can do them slightly faster and take a little extra rest after reps 6 and 12.

Your times should get faster not slower as the workout progresses. Start slower.
Assuming you're otherwise healthy, you certainly should "learn the exercise" if you do it every week or so for a couple of month.
Whether that will carry over to performances in races is an interesting, but separate, question.
