Guess my 400 time today (after years of not running)!!!

Well, since you were moderately active, I'll say anywhere from 60 to 63 since I don't really know much about you so I can't be specific.

74

hopefully you do't blow out your achilles or hamstring.

DNF

"Guess my 400 time today (after years of not running)!!!"

Who cares, no one here knows you. Ask your friends.

Considering every year I have highschoolers who have never run come out and run 57-58 in our first time trial, I'd guess you can probably do at least that, maybe even 56.

good day- 42.8

bad day- 1:24

it all depends on your mental state

I say about 57 something on your own, if you pace it right

58.2

I ran 49.7!!

A real PB, suprised myself big time

liar.

that wasn't me. I actually didn't get around to running yesterday. Either going to do it tonight or tomorrow.

In Masters Track, the "law" of attrition is about 1.5 seconds every five years. But these are trained athletes who compete year round.

why would he be joking??? he's given the best answer so far... it's pretty common for a hs kid to run sub-60 with no training...

in my defense, most kids coming into HS and running 57s have not been being lazy college kids for the last four years. Between gym, running around with friends, camps, little league, Y league basketball, etc, I was much more active on a regular basis in middle school than even "staying active" throughout college.

anyway, onto the time trial. I did a pretty abbreviated warmup: two laps and the basic stretches, some leg swings and that's it. I felt pretty good though, a little "empty" since I hadn't eaten in like 6 hours, but I figured it wouldn't matter too much for a 400. Weather was cool, but good for a race, and a bit of a headwind on the home stretch.

My splits (taken by myself) were: 14.2, 14.6, 14.8, 16.0. Total 59.6

Obviously a huge lack of fitness to carry me through the end, and I went out conservatively, so maybe I could have gained a little bit of time at the beginning, but probably not. All and all not terrible.

If I start training again I think I'd want to move up to the 8 or mile, but we'll see where a summer of malmo gets me, and how much speed I can gain back from that.

Thanks for guessing!

you suck.

I took 10 years off and ran a 57. my PB was only 52.

And in my defense, you said you had been moderately active, not a lazy college kid. Had you changed the description to that, I would have predicted somewhere between 59.5 and 59.7. Just kidding.
