Masters runners, what is your 400 PR at 40 years and over? It could be in a race or recent workout this year. My PR is 54 flat, but this year I only 55.1 on a relay.

My best master 400 time is 57.2, when I was 42 years old. Today at 48 years old, I can run 58 in a workout easy.
damn, that's moving. My PR (such as it is, only ran this race once, as a 16-year old, when it was 440 yards) is 57.6 and my only try as a master (when I was 47, doubling after a 2-mile) was 65.5
Not sure what prompted starting this thread, but for me speed (mile and shorter) is the biggest difference between 20s and 40's. I can still beat my younger self at 10 miles and above.
Are you saying that you are faster at 48? Because 58 should never be "easy" for a 57 guy.I suggest giving all PR's:25.8 @ 4655.7 @ 442:06.5 @ 444:21 @ 439:28 @ 4716:31 @ 44

Yes it's call training harder and not talking harder. I run more speed workouts and hill workouts today.
age 50 - 63
Yet you haven't raced a 400 recently?

I ran 400 meters in (56.4), when I was (49 years old) back in the days. So what speed workouts are you doing this season?
51.8 at 46.
I ran 60.4 starting out easy this year at 42.
I am more curious of how fast you top masters can run the last 400 meters on the way to a sub 17 5K?
Can any of you break 60 seconds in this situation?

Jeezus that's flying. I can only run 67 at 49 years old and I've had a few tries at it. 31 for 200.
So a 58 easy
What defines easy?
3-5 seconds slower than all-out?
Last summer I ran (50.9), at the end of a 5k workout. This year at a all comers at Fresno Pacific, I rabbited the first 400 of a 600 race at 51.6 hand time. I will
Some very seriously fast times. I am more of a 10k-half runner.
no 400's and little work on top speeds with all training geared for longer races. Times at age 48 and at altitude so I put +/- sea level equivs. +/-
800 2:24 (2:24 sea level)
Mile 5:13 (5:10 +/-)
3000m 10:11 (9:50's)
5k road 17:17 (16:40)
10k 34:15 at sea level high 35's altitude
1:19 HM easy altitude course
I ran about 60 flat 440yd in HS indoor track and is still a pr.
I turn 45 in December.
Racetraining, go run a 400 and come back.
Genesis, you sound a lot like that Joe Carnegie (?) guy, who runs weird distances and fast time trials and whatnot, and an occasional decent race, but avoids championships and record attempts that would confirm his claims completely. Am I close?
There was a video interview with a guy on here a few months ago who ran a 55 or so 400 and he was over age 60.
Sheesh, you guys make me feel slow up here. At the least, I can run 56 with some good training.
You guys have definitely perked my interest....I have never given thought to this, therefore I will have to get back to you once I record my time.
I have a lot to learn.
