Hey guys, I am going to be a Junior in HS. I have run for our Men's Cross Country and Track teams for the first two years. I have only ran 65 seconds for the quarter and that was in practice. I have ran 5:10 for the mile and but I really want to break 63. I have a bet with my friend about it. Any training suggestions or advice. Thanks!

I am 12 years old and I coach you old man.
you can break 63 without much training. my 400 pr from track was 66 also and i lowered it to 60 tonight. if you improved you can do it but if you have slacking good luck lol. i also did this with a few friend he said he was faster but i beat him by a foot. not signifcant though we are basically equal
my advice; get better
suggestions? train harder and actually run a damn race and not just "run" it like most highschool kids tend to do who cant tolerate pain fore more than a few seconds. as a 5:10 miler you should already have at least a 60 second quarter in you. you're probably just not going hard enough in the race. when you learn to actually run a race and give into any pain that comes with it, then you'll run fast. not everyone learns it, but if you do you get an understanding of what it means to actually "run".
actual advice? work on your footspeed and 200m speed. when in the race, go out HARD, and then hold on for dear life. its usually easiest to learn how to do this in a 4x400 where you're chasing someone down
BTW, I am going to have to eat bananas until I vomit if I lose this bet so all help is appreciated.
Get someone who you know can run a 60 second 400. Have him do that while you try to beat him.
