Hello I'm in college and have run 4:31 for the mile and broken 17 for XC 5k's
I want to run the 200 and 400, I feel compelled to do so. I plan on returning to distance some day but I want to have some sprint pr's most distance wouldn't.
In high school I was 55flat for 400 and 25.5 for 200
Im thinking sub 48 for the 400 and sub 22.5 for the 200. Is this reasonable? Im just going to do the Clyde Hart thing, how long do you think before I could approach these times?
thanks
Squatz.
explosive jump squatz.
Protein.
Overhead press.
Protein.
Resistence training.
More protein.
Take a big break between reps on the track, fast twitch only performs after its been rested.
If you do too many reps to quickly slow twitch takes over and decreases sprint time.
Work on your start.
I don't think there's any chance you'll ever be able to run those times. Not trying to be a dick, just realistic. Anyone capable of running sub 48 second 400 should at the VERY least be able to run that pace for a 200 untrained.
My untrained 200 is probably 23.mid/high and I would be very hard pressed to break 48 even with a lot of sprint training.
As a distance guy at heart. I'm not going to buy into your I dont have enough talent bull sh*t theory. Thanks though, not trying to be a dick.
I can do it, and will do it. My 400 time was from 11th grade and 200 time from 10th grade. neither were from blocks, and neither were in spikes. Right there room for improvement. I always ran the 400 as my last event. Right there room for improvement.
When I was in middle school I was always the fastest white kid 40-200 yards.
If you can run 23.3 right now in the 200 with no appropriate training at all you might get the rest with a good routine. Might as well try it.
Love the attitude. Keep us posted. What is your BMI?
bmi is 21 flat. My weight is pretty down to 138 right now due to the fact im in the middle of a high mileage base. Usual weight hovers around 145-150. I eat way too much.
I figured I do a normal distance base phase so I could work harder for sprint training. If I did a 200 right now, no blocks, no spikes, I think I could manage a mid 24.
Sebastian Coe was a 800/1500 guy and he had 400/200 prs at 46 something and 21 something I believe. Of course that's seb coe I know.
give up
but we all know that seb coe at his peak could NEVER have run under 12.5 for the 100 from blocks without a few years of special training, so maybe not the best example
i kid, i kid...
Actually I think you have a great plan. Go for it!
