How about with someone lacking endurance?
How about with someone lacking endurance?
I'd say speed-based guy, 50.
Distance guy, 52.high-53
I had a teamate run 1:54.4 and he split 52s here and there in the 400. He was an 800/1500 guy, no shorter or longer.
57
On average, 800rp = 2.2x400rp
114/2.2 = 51.8.
The extreme sprinter end of 400/800 is Juantorena, at 2.34
114/2.34 = 48.7
I never broke 52, but I ran 1:51.8, so I would say 53.x is fast enough to run 1:54
I ran 1:53.8 and ran an open 400 in 49.8
This is kind of a stupid thing to say, but I would say 57 for a pure endurance 5k-10k type. For an aerobic beast, 1:54 is an achievable time. If it were 1:52, I think it would be a different story. I have known a couple 5 types who closed in 1:56 (championship setting), but certainly were not capable of running a 55 flat (at least, not while doing 120 mpw). This makes me think that there must be someone out there who could run two 57's, but could only split negligibly faster for a flat 400. Call me an idiot, but I bet such a person exists.
And stupidly, I only read the title. For Someone with poor endurance, I would say mid 53's.

fixed.
I can't imagine anyone "capable" of only 57 would ever be able to run 1:54 no matter how good is their endurance. That being said, I imagine there are some distance guys that have done it and never ran a serious 400m in a race or only ran it after having run a longer race earlier in the meet and did only 57 like that. A more realistic minimum would be 53. Of course, if you add in the OP's caveat of it not being an endurance-type guy then maybe 49 is a better answer.
