I went out in 59 cameback in 65 to run a 2:04 PR.
However in the open 8 I came out in 61 and came back in 65. No matter how slow I come out the first lap my second lap is ALWAYS the same? This has never happened to me before. I used to always split 62/64 (near even splits).
My 400time has improved a lot however.
Awesome post. Are you just posting random thoughts?
work on the endurance part then. The more fittest I got the faster the second 400.
If you can get your opening lap down to around 35 seconds then you'll have a shot at the 800m WR.
Are you running the open 800 after the other one? As that might explain it.
Male or female?
I've run 63-59, 62-60, 61-61, and 57-60 this season alone (HS senior) and have come to realize that my last laps are usually close to the same while my first laps vary more.
Realize that you're not running constant paces during your two laps-the 200m splits, 100m splits, and others as far down as you want to go matter too. maybe you've been keeping the same pace as your first lap as you come onto the second and should work on pushing earlier on. Think of your paces during the whole race, not just for each of the two laps.
