I'm doing it tomorrow to prepare for marathon. I want to make the Olympic team in 4 years so I'm going to start my training on a serious manner. I'm going to start with a bang and end with a bang. Who knows, maybe I'll end up winning Olympic GOLD.

If you don't have a mileage base you could be injured by tomorrwow night.
That's a great idea dude ... I read somewhere that every OG Marathon Gold medal winner has done 100 x 400m in March and October each year leading up to the Games.
So you are off and running!
computer messed up, posting to see if this works.
Great idea..not!
Wait, aren't you a lightweight?
ive heard or some elite marathoners doing 20-30x800m, so why not 100x400m. if you were joking because you thought that was a rediculously long sounding workout, sorry...if you want to be great - you have to do some crazy (to the ave non-runner)things.
if you weren't joking, go ahead. maybe it'll work.
I'm not joking. I plan on averaging sub 70.
1st 25: 75
2nd 25: 70
3rd 25: 65
4th 25: 70 (last one in sub 60)
1 minute rest between each interval and 10 minutes rest between each set.
good luck
make sure you post how it went when you finish. i'm interested to see how it goes.

Wait, I thought your idea was to run all your intervals as fast as you can (see other thread)?
Anyway, if you can run your 75th 400 in 65 seconds, I'll quit running and join the circus.
Good luck.
Long journies begin with single steps ... only problem is it sounds like your first step is off a cliff.
If you want to make the Olympic marathon team in 4 years, I think you need to start by practicing long term planning and patience.
It's consistency that makes champions, not big bangs on the first day of a new program. Just do a long distance run ... then another ... then another ... then eventually some long intervals ... then some more ... then some distance ....
Pretty soon it'll be next week and you can do it all over again.
Good luck!

If all goes as planned, and assuming a recovery rate of 200m/60s (and discounting warm-up/warm-down), I have you completing: 40.51 miles (after conversion) in 4hrs., 2 min., and a shade under 40sec. :)
ummm, no.
i'm not going to jog between 400s. just stop.
total mileage will be about 25 miles.
Catman, is that you?
That's nothin, I'm doing 200 x 200 averaging 33's, and my best friend is doing 50 x 800 averaging 2:45's. We are going to see who runs faster at the OG's in 4 years. It's gonna be TIIIIIGGGGGHHHHHHTTTT!!!!!!

Lets be real here, there is NO CHANCE he is even going to make past the second set. And even less of a chance of him doing it on pace. I think that you would be hard pressed to find ANYONE who would be able to get through that third set on pace. It would have to be a very elite runner.
um, i am an elite runner
Why not just run a balls out 40km on a very tough course instead of this stupidity?

Well, did you survive?
